About Us
A World-class Greater Whitsunday Agrifood System Empowered by Technology and Collaboration
The Greater Whitsunday Agtech Hub is an initiative of the Agribusiness Futures Alliance project, supported by Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3) and other key stakeholders. The project launched in 2020 and is a collaborative effort to develop a robust agriculture and agribusiness sector for the future. This includes transforming the sectors through technology.
In 2021, the Agribusiness Futures Alliance received a Food Innovation Australia (FIAL) Cluster Grant to support its work towards increasing technology adoption across agriculture. Creating the Greater Whitsunday Agtech Portal is central to the long term success of the Greater Whitsunday Agtech Hub.
