Darryl Lyons is the Entrepreneur in Residence at both James Cook University in Cairns, Queensland, and at Farmers2Founders, a national Agri-tech organisation that helps aspiring entrepreneurs and founders from early idea validation through to business growth and international commercialisation. After running several businesses with mixed success, Darryl first encountered the startup world around 6 years ago at a startup weeking in Cairns and found the experience “life changing”. Since then, Darryl has worked in the startup world, with a particular focus on Agri-tech. In his conversation with guest host Will Tjo, Darryl discusses the unique advantages and challenges of founding a startup in regional Australia, as well as his belief that Australia has an opportunity to lead the world in Agri-tech.
