What sets HARVEST apart is its unique agricultural sector immersion offering direct engagement with growers and grower networks, field experiences, and deep industry exposure that fast-tracks real-world impact for agtech innovators. |
“HARVEST helped us connect directly with growers. Those early conversations have now turned into real partnerships, with growers being the first to adopt our technology. Overall, our experience with HARVEST has been very positive, both during and after the program. It has opened several doors for us, and we highly recommend it.” Tim Hopper, Chief Technology Officer, ResonAg |
“Participating in the HARVEST program has been an invaluable experience for my business. It connected me to customers and investors within a short space of time, that would probably have taken months or years for me to develop on my own. It has also given me valuable frameworks, expert advice, and confidence / needed to develop and progress my start-up. The connections with other Founders in the same boat has also been an unexpected benefit, as we've been able to help each other and also build new friendships. It has truly been an 'accelerator' in many ways and I'm very grateful to have been included in the 2025 cohort.” Lynne Loo, UpWaste Australia |
