Bruce has years of experience working in the public service and in leading emergency responses to natural disasters such as floods and cyclones\, particularly in his home state of QLD. He has a keen interest in how technology is being applied in the real world to help make our lives easier\, safer and more productive. \nBruce Grady is the business development manager for FloodMapp\, a world-first flood modelling solution\, purpose-built for flood intelligence and forecasting. Aimed at improving safety and preventing damage\, FloodMapp provides highly accurate\, real-time\, location-specific and dynamic flood inundation and depth insights for businesses exposed to flooding. \nFloodMapp combines big data analytics\, automation and machine learning techniques with novel hydrology and hydraulic models to achieve large-scale\, rapid flood modelling. Their proprietary technology reads in real-time and forecasted rainfall and river height data\, which their models use to estimate predicted peak river heights and generate inundation mapping at scale.Using the highest quality elevation data available\, FloodMapp models the inundation extent and depth of an impending flood event up to 7 days prior with instantaneous updates to the prediction to reflect changes in the real-time data inputs. \n  \n \nJames Walker is the founder and director of farm finance service AgriHive. A fifth-generation farmer from Longreach\, Queensland\, James is passionate about Australian family farms and improving financial performance through tailored initiatives and utilising his networks in industry and government. \nWith his wife and three children\, he runs Camden Park\, after managing an 80\,000-acre family business in Western Queensland. \nCoupled with the extensive agribusiness training through industry courses (Grazing for profit\, KLR Marketing\, Sheep for Profit\, Nutrition and others) James has also conducted formal training (Diploma Business – Real Estate Management\, Diploma in Agribusiness\, Diploma Farm Management and a Nuffield International Scholarship). \nWhen drought hit\, James focused his attention on several off-farm projects – studying a diploma of finance and marketing and developing a $32 million solar farm project on the farm. James also used the time during the drought to use his skills to stage summits\, with the aim of attracting new ideas from outside agriculture to help solve some of the issues the industry is facing with Agrihive’s mission to ‘Tackle Crisis Points In Agriculture And Generate Actionable Ideas’. \nFollowing these summits and initiatives James was asked to speak at Oxford on disrupting farming through innovative thinking and technology and was awarded a project to build an AG-tech financial tool for farmers incorporating production\, finance\, environment and weather and climate metrics. Through instruction from the Prime Minister’s office and working with the Department of Agriculture and Meat and Livestock Australia\, James developed Farmecco.
