The pace of technological change in the agricultural industries is accelerating, creating new opportunities for entrepreneurship that will help drive change. Harnessing the new technologies to develop an idea into a commercial product is a major challenge.
The AgTech Hackathon sponsored by the Ag Institute of Australia and ThincLab Waite will help you develop your skills in assessing the potential of your idea, developing a product and finding a pathway of developing it to market.
The short workshops will help you shape your idea into a real product that has the best chance of succeeding. They will be run by ThincLab Waite and Enabled, one of South Australia’s lead tech companies.
