This Global Incubator Programme, organised by Innovate UK, will be delivered virtually on a weekly basis, with two visits to Australia built into the programme.

Why Australia?
Australia’s diverse and sophisticated agriculture sector is on track to be a $100 billion industry by 2030. To achieve this, government and industry are working in partnership to create a world-class startup ecosystem supported by industry bodies, accessible research institutions, funders and investors, innovative corporates and tech-ready farmers. Multiple climatic zones and counter-seasonality offer a diverse environment for testing solutions that make this a perfect launchpad for UK businesses to connect, collaborate, and scale in a diverse and rapidly growing market.
