The Agricultural Innovation Hub has just seen its first start-up innovation project complete a guided discovery workshop designed to support an accelerated commercialisation pilot program as a part of the TNQ Drought Hub. Discovery workshops assess the viability of identified Ag Innovation opportunities from both a technical and commercial perspective, and fast-track the project through to translation funding.
The workshop saw key stakeholders participate in a facilitated workshop consisting of a discovery process to uncover and confirm the value of Electric Plant Growth, the competitor landscape and a establishing defined research sprint.
The Agricultural Innovation Hub Project Officer Lauren Tapp comments “It was great to see the framework in action and allowing a defined and targeted conversation to take place with the right people in the room. This pilot has the protentional to save a significant amount of time and money and will allow agricultural problems and challenges to be solved quicker. The sooner we provide producers solid opportunities and outcomes, the better”
We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of this country and pay our respects to the Traditional Owners and Elders, past and present, of the land on which we stand today, the Djabugay (pronounced Jap-ur-kai), Yirrganydji (pronounced Irri-kan-dji) and the Gimuy Yidinji (pronounced Goom-eye Yidinji) people (and all other country/people joining us today).
In the spirit of reconciliation, we also acknowledge the valuable contribution that Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to make to James Cook University and the broader community.
