400+ projects in ten years! WOW!!

On June 04, Motivo hosted a great Food/Ag forum focused on one of the most pressing industry challenges: global food security. 70+ industry leaders/brands participated in the session including Smithfield Foods, Kubota, CNH Industrial, Sun World, Autodesk, JV Smith, Cummins, and SVG Ventures-THRIVE to name a few. Motivo CEO, Praveen Penmetsa, presented a mini keynote outlining the global food security challenges and perspectives on COVID-19 market realities (e.g. changing cons...umer expectations, farm to table automation opportunities). Moderated by Tyler Nuss (Modern Acre Podcast/Rivian), the Webinar proceeded into a Panel Q&A with contributions from: -- Michael Gomes (VP, Precision Agriculture - Topcon) -- Carlo Mondavi (Co-Founder - Monarch Tractor/Raen Winery) -- Jeff Morrison (Director of Innovation - Grimmway Farms) --Robert Muehfellner (VP, Product & Innovation - B&R Automation). Key themes of the Panel Q&A included: -- Based on COVID-19, what changes to the global food system will be permanent versus not? -- What sectors of the Food/Ag industry are most ripe for innovation? -- What should be done to increase the resiliency of the global food system? -- How does the Food/Ag industry justify the required cost of automation? -- How will the Food/Ag investment landscape change?

Congratulations to our friends at Monarch Tractor for this latest recognition. It was just over four months ago that Motivo announced the creation of the newly formed Monarch Tractor company. The seed for this new company was the Motivo patented HARVEST tractor, originally developed as an USAID funded project.

The Motivo plan for staying safe while moving forward during COVID-19

MAINTAINING HEALTH & SAFETY WHILE GETTING WORK DONE -- The agile nature of Motivo has allowed us to shift from a close-knit team under one roof, to a close-knit team working from 40+ remote locations while minimizing the health and business impact on our team, clients, projects and vendors. Luckily we have spent the last 18 months building up our technology infrastructure to support a more distributed and remote workforce of the future! Teamwork means working together, or in this case remotely, for the greater good. Stay healthy!

Motivo is a community resource for the tech community. Tonight we are hosting engineers from SHPE South Bay LA. After Eric Ell talked about career opportunities, a team from the Financial Partners Credit Union discussed financial planning and taxes - something that is rarely discussed at engineering school!

Praveen Penmetsa and Motivo featured in the Los Angeles Business Journal.

We are all set for our third year at the World Ag Expo. 100,000 people will be here over the next three days. Motivo is eager to solve complex problems for farmers and food producers.

Have we mentioned that Motivo is a team of car enthusiasts? Need proof? Motivo CEO Praveen Penmetsa has a track day BMW that began as a $800 clunker. The Wall Street Journal came by the Motivo office recently to see it. This will be in the print edition of the Wall Street Journal tomorrow (Wednesday, December 18th).

Motivo closes out 2019 with a big announcement. 2020 will be amazing!
