PIRSA: Kangaroo Island AgTech Demonstration Program

Opportunity for 

  • AgTech providers, developers, and researchers who are looking to partner with primary producers to test, demo or validate their technology on farm.

Opportunity description

Industry challenge:

The Kangaroo Island AgTech Demonstration Program was established in the wake of the 2019-20 bushfires which devastated agriculture in the region. With funding from the Australian Government Regional Recovery Partnerships program, the initiative collaborates with Kangaroo Island's primary producers to integrate AgTech solutions into local farms. By showcasing the benefits of technology in farm management, the program aims to enhance productivity, profitability, and best practice systems for producers in the region.

This initiative facilitates direct engagement between primary producers and a variety of AgTech solutions, allowing them to assess technologies before making investment decisions.

Simultaneously, the program fosters collaboration between developers, suppliers, and primary producers to ensure that the deployed technology is user-centric and effective.

Current opportunity:

We are seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from developers and suppliers who would like to deploy products on our Kangaroo Island AgTech demonstration farms.

Successful applicants also benefit from:

  • Their products featuring in our virtual tours of the AgTech demonstration farms
  • Invitations to collaborate with us at AgTech events, including guest speaker opportunities.

This opportunity helps you collaborate and connect with agricultural industry customers. In a farm environment, you can showcase your technology for primary producers and check that it meets their needs.

For your AgTech to be considered for demonstration, it must meet certain criteria and improve a relevant farm management decision or activity.

If you have questions or would like to connect go to "Enquire now", to find out more go to "Visit website".
