Premiered on 18 Dec 2020 showcasing Australia AgriFood startups

Eleven Australian startups present their ideas before an audience of top agricultural leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs.

The THRIVE AUSTRALIA Challenge, in partnership with CSIRO, is part of THRIVE's Global Initiative which aims to enable the needed transformations in Australia’s food value chain as highlighted in the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals.

The Challenge will accomplish this by identifying, promoting, accelerating, and investing in innovative early-stage Australian startups that are creating new and alternative paths for a more efficient and sustainable global food system.
