Giovanni Amodeo is a capital markets strategist, C-suite operator, and trusted host to the world’s most influential investors in private capital. For two decades, data has been the cornerstone of decision-making in global markets—proprietary insights giving investors an edge and shaping strategies across private equity, credit, and infrastructure. But as Giovanni explains, the game has changed once again. Today, data is only the starting point. With so much information available, real differentiation comes from authentic, purposeful relationships. Giovanni shares the following: ” It’s no longer about pushing data or information. It’s about understanding what the investor wants, building fewer but deeper relationships, and creating meaningful conncetions that last. “ — Giovanni Amodeo Join us this November at #CapTech2025 to hear Giovanni Amodeo and other global leaders share how to thrive in this new era of capital, connection, and authenticity. Because the right partnership isn’t just an advantage—it’s a catalyst that can transform your future.  

The recent #CapTech2025 India mission underscored a powerful truth: global collaboration is no longer optional it’s essential. Across New Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, the CapTech team met with industry leaders, innovators, and investors to lay the foundations for deeper partnerships between Australia and one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Engaging with Industry at the Highest Level At the Bharat Global Industrial Forum (BGIF) in New Delhi, #CapTech2025 delegates engaged directly with some of India’s most influential business leaders, including Dr. A.S. Mittal (Vice Chairman, Sonalika Tractors) and Mr Raj Kumar Goel (Managing Director, SLR Metaliks Ltd). These discussions weren’t surface-level networking they were working conversations about technology, capital, and the future of global industry. The team also gained insight into India’s Made in India campaign during a visit to the Swadeshi Jagran Munch Head Office, connecting with a vision that aligns closely with #CapTech2025’s mission: turning local innovation into global opportunity. Innovation at Scale in Hyderabad In Hyderabad, #CapTech2025 explored T-HUB, one of the world’s largest startup accelerators, and participated in sessions hosted by TIE Hyderabad, a leading entrepreneurial network. These engagements highlighted the striking similarities between India and Australia’s startup ecosystems and the vast potential when the two collaborate. Finance Meets Technology in Mumbai The mission concluded in Mumbai with a high-level session hosted by ICICI Bank, bringing finance and technology into the same conversation. This reinforced a central theme: enabling the flow of capital across borders is critical to accelerating innovation. Building Connections Beyond Business Equally important were the connections built within the group itself. Traveling, sharing experiences, and exploring India together strengthened relationships among the delegates. From sightseeing tours to enjoying local culture and cuisine, the mission created lasting bonds that go beyond business, reminding us that trust and collaboration often begin with shared moments of fun. Why It Matters? The India success tour wasn’t just another series of meetings. It strengthened #CapTech2025’s position as a credible platform that connects capital, technology, and opportunity. By stepping onto the global stage, the team has positioned Sydney not just as a destination but as a launchpad for meaningful international collaboration.

In business, capital alone isn’t enough. What truly accelerates growth is partnerships that unlock scale, networks, and opportunity. The right collaboration doesn’t just provide funding—it delivers access to resources, knowledge, and connections that would otherwise take years to build. Dr. Christian Baylis, Founder of Fortlake, shares how a unique collaboration with Colonial First State (backed by KKR) transformed his business: “Part of the capital story of us.. wasn’t just money. It was intellectual capital, marketing capital, operational capital. A great strategic partner can mean so much more than just a cheque.” — Dr. Christian Baylis At #CapTech2025, you’ll do more than listen—you’ll connect directly with industry leaders, fund managers, and innovators who understand the power of collaboration. Learn how to identify the right partners, build relationships that go beyond capital, and create growth strategies that scale your business faster and smarter.

Behind every successful investment lies one constant: trust. Trust is the foundation that turns vision into reality, transforms a bold idea into a viable strategy, and gives investors the confidence to commit their capital. Without it, even the strongest business plan can falter. With it, opportunities expand, partnerships flourish, and success becomes sustainable. Mr Rod McGeoch, Patron of #CapTech2025, shares why investors must look beyond bold visions and ensure alignment, clarity, and relationships that last. In this conversation, you’ll discover: “You’ve got to convince me that you’ve got a plan as well as a vision for me to invest… You’re asking people for their money. They’ve got to be able to trust you with it and be convinced you’ll know what to do with it.” — Rod McGeoch AO, LLB Join us at #CapTech2025 to connect with leaders who live these principles every day. At #CapTech2025, you’ll learn directly from industry leaders how to identify risks early, align vision with actionable strategies, and most importantly build the trust and relationships that transform opportunities into long-term success.
