GRDC Grains Challenge
In late 2021, we partnered with the Grains Research & Development on the GrowLab Grain Challenge, a national search to unearth innovative deep tech solutions that could help to drive the sustainability and help create enduring profitability for Australian grain growers.
The challenge led to 19 applications and four agrifood companies being selected to be part of our bespoke acceleration program, Fast Start, a 6 month coaching program which includes a dedicated workspace at Cicada Innovations incubator, as well as access to mentors from across Cicada and the GRDC’s network.
The GRDC program has been above and beyond, it has helped us validate and recalibrate a number of our assumptions and opened the door for our technology to help grain farmers and the grain industry as a whole in a meaningful and impactful way. Thanks to the GRDC program we would not have had this opportunity to get access to expertise and knowledge of their people, or visibility and access to be able to implement our technologies in the grains industry.
