Cultivating growth: The Greater Whitsunday AgTech Hub

The Greater Whitsunday AgTech Hub online portal is reshaping the future of the region's agriculture sector through technology and collaboration.
The Greater Whitsunday AgTech Hub, an integral component of the Agribusiness Futures Alliance project, supported by Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3) and key stakeholders, represents a bold vision for a world-class agriculture and agribusiness sector empowered by technology.
The Greater Whitsunday AgTech Hub developed the online portal to bring new ways of farming, people, and capabilities to the region. Central to this vision is building producers' capacity to leverage and implement cutting-edge agriculture technology solutions that enhance productivity and sustainability to build upon our already successful agriculture industry.
Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3) Chief Executive Officer Ms Kylie Porter said the Greater Whitsunday AgTech Hub portal, is an online platform to support producers and businesses better understand agtech solutions and connect them with service providers and investors.
The portal encourages and supports adoption of agtech and improved practices that will deliver real benefit to producers and supply chain partners.
“The portal is a platform that will ensure Greater Whitsunday growers and producers have the knowledge to progress their businesses in the face of change across technology and skills,” Ms Porter said.
“Importantly, the portal will also promote knowledge sharing with agribusiness and producers so that we create a community of best practice.
“Agtech is becoming increasingly important within the agriculture sector and this portal is an important step in building upon our already successful agriculture industry.  GW3 is incredibly proud to be involved in the launch of this portal.”
Ms Porter said along with regional case studies and news updates from across the agriculture sector, the portal will showcase innovation and product releases, provide key information and education around agtech and ultimately, drive positive change for the sector.

The Greater Whitsunday AgTech Hub portal will also be the place to find:

•            Local agtech suppliers.

•            See examples of agtech in action.

•            Access resources and source funding.

•            Get Involved in the agtech community.

“It will also increase accessibility to agtech and associated digital support by inclusion of an agtech supplier directory of those businesses servicing the Greater Whitsunday region.
“Becoming a part of the new Greater Whitsunday AgTech Hub online community means being a part of a sustainable and productive agriculture industry,” Ms Porter said.
