ScaleUP WA: Innovations in Trade & Logistics

INNOVATIONS IN TRADE & LOGISTICS

Food and beverage value-add: a national growth industry. 

Value-adding by transforming agricultural produce into consumer-packaged food is a key industry for Australia - one with tremendous growth potential. At present, food and beverage value-adding is a major contributor to the Australian economy, providing more than 247,000 jobs and generating more than $29.1 billion in export value.

As global demand continues to rise for quality food and beverage, fresh and packaged, more businesses are adopting new technologies to get scale, create and capture more value, and position themselves to harvest for returns. Western Australia is well placed to be the epicentre of this burgeoning growth with a reputation for being clean and green. As well as strong international ties and innovations in freight and logistics. So, how do we get to share in this value, assess the best opportunities, know who, how, and what markets to engage with where consumers are happy to pay a premium?

Kindly hosted by the City of Canning, supported by industry partners, this free event aims to highlight some of the challenges and considerations as well as opportunities and best practices for the agri-food and tech sector by bringing together innovative ventures, subject matter experts, leading practitioners, and industry stakeholders to share insights and take questions. 

This event includes catered networking and refreshments. Limited spots available, registration is essential.
