Explore how Kubota are Revolutionising Agriculture and Construction to meet a Growing Labour Crisis

On today’s edition of the podcast David sits down with Brett McMickell, a tech leader and CTO at Kubota. Kubota is focused on creating purpose-built technology solutions that help tackle a growing labour shortage across sectors like agriculture and construction. Brett discusses the company's approach, why they approach problems from a different, and novel, perspective and reimagine what a solution can look like due to the evolving capabilities of tech. It’s not about simply bolting technology on!


On today’s podcast David and Sam talk about the alignment for the US Federal Government, Big Tech and the Startup Ecosystem. TechCrunch have a good read on the topic: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/21/startup-founders-flooded-inauguration-parties-hopeful-for-dealmaking/
