Beanstalk is delivering a world-first Drought Venture Studio, backed by the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund, and dedicated to tackling Australia’s most urgent drought and climate challenges in agriculture.
The Studio’s intensive 12 week Drought Resilience Lab equips ag innovators with the resources, specialised support, and networks to turn their technologies into impactful ventures.
Entrepreneurial researchers, agtech founders, and industry disruptors who want to transform validated prototypes into impactful ventures that contribute to drought-resilience are encouraged to apply.
