Dynamic Business’s Tech Tuesdays column is dedicated to the businesses and products that have made great contributions to the tech industry, are pushing the boundaries of technology, and are redefining the future.
For the first edition, we have compiled a list of sustainable technological innovations that have the potential to push the sustainability agenda in 2022 and beyond.
Farmbot
Farmbot is one Australian-based agtech company that provides a platform to help farmers be more sustainable, better manage their water resources, and make more informed business decisions.
Built on a best-in-breed combination of IoT sensors that deliver a series of insights on water consumption back to a SaaS platform on a farmer’s device. It means farmers are able to track how much water they have available and manage their livestock stocking rates accordingly.
It saves them the valuable time they previously spent driving to manually check and is taking thousands of fuel-inefficient vehicles off the road.
“The implications of climate variability on the sustainability of agriculture and for Australian farmers are immense. Technology is one of the responses farmers are increasingly turning to, to assist with understanding micro climates, and planning and adapting their operations to be better equipped for climate variability,” says Andrew Coppin, Managing Director, Farmbot.

Trace
Trace exists to remove these barriers to climate action. Its software makes it easy and accessible for companies to measure, offset and reduce their carbon footprint. Cuts the time and cost required for businesses to become carbon neutral compared to traditional consulting-based methods.
It can also capture employees’ WFH emissions to more accurately calculate the carbon footprint of businesses operating with hybrid models. Gives companies tools to make climate action a ‘team sport’, rather than a siloed effort by engaging employees along the way.

CIM
CIM empowers businesses to operate their buildings as efficiently and sustainably as possible by giving them the data insights they need to optimise their energy consumption and slash carbon emissions.
CIM’s building analytics software is helping the Australian property industry achieve net-zero emissions, using machine learning and AI to deliver immediate insights into these inefficiencies.
Its analytics technology makes it easy to improve and track environmental performance across your building portfolio, obtain better ratings and deliver on your environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments to drive value for shareholders and tenants.
“The building sector is one of the largest contributors to climate change, accounting for 30-40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, as operational inefficiencies from the systems people don’t see like ventilation, lifts and lighting account for up to a third of the energy produced is wasted,” says David Walsh, founder and CEO of CIM.
