WAFIP Agri-food R&D Commercialisation Workshop

Can Australia reach its target of creating a $100 billion agricultural industry by 2030? Can the flailing productivity levels in the sector be turned around? How does the industry carve out a greater market share in the evolving food choices of the global consumer? One possible avenue that is getting much more attention today than ever before is the domain of agri-food R&D commercialisation. The term underpins the need for business and research to work in unison to tackle challenges of on-farm productivity, new agri-food product development, improving traceability, and more.

This event brings together researchers and industry professionals to showcase some of the agri-food R&D commercialisation efforts underway in Western Australia. More importantly, it will provide a forum for participants to explore R&D commercialisation opportunities that can be activated at the State’s first food innovation precinct.

The Shire of Murray along with the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and DevelopmentWA have made possible a $3.8M Enterprise Support Program (co-funded) which can be accessed for Western Australian Food Innovation Precinct (WAFIP) related R&D commercialisation projects.
