“We are thrilled and honoured to have received this award. Having just launched this year, we did not expect automed to be recognized as quickly as it has. This shows that we are creating a very special product, which has the potential to offer value across the global livestock supply chain,” said David Edwards, CEO, and Founder, automed.

I am proud to accept this award, not just for our dedicated team, but also for Australia and the state of Canberra, which has offered us incredible support along the way,” he added.
