Big news for Australia’s agtech sector - AgriSpace has launched!
www.agrispace.com.au

Australian agriculture is on track to hit $100 billion in output by 2030, but innovation is stalling as agtech investment declines. AgriSpace is changing that!

This syndicated platform educates and empowers farmers and growers to invest in early-stage agtech ventures with smaller pooled contributions, making participation accessible and impactful.

AgriSpace isn’t just about funding - it’s about shaping agriculture’s future. Farmers and growers can provide feedback, become trial partners, and support solutions designed for their needs. Whilst agtech ventures can reach a broad group of investors who are end users and beneficiaries plus receive feedback from our expert team.

Backed by experts like Dr Natasha Teakle, agritech advisor Sonya Comiskey, and leading investors Matthew Macfarlane and Josh Garratt, AgriSpace bridges the gap between on-farm challenges and scalable technology.

2025 HARVEST Business Case Study: UpWaste Australia

We loved having Lynne Loo, founder of UpWaste Australia, in the 2025 HARVEST Agtech Accelerator Program. UpWaste is helping agrifood and beverage businesses turn surplus food and by-products into valuable, sustainable outcomes.

When Lynne began the HARVEST program, she was early in her startup journey, full of industry insight but navigating the challenge of building a tech-driven solution solo. Through HARVEST, she refined her value proposition, built a clear growth strategy, and gained the confidence to take bold steps forward.

And the wins followed:
✨ Acquired seed funding from an early adopter
✨ New mid-size to large customers
✨ More progress in weeks than in the months before HARVEST

“Agristart's HARVEST program has exceeded my expectations in terms of what I am learning and the invaluable connections I have made with key players from WA's most significant agrifood businesses. The program has helped me to refine my thinking and given me more confidence in the approach I am taking with my business. The thoughtfulness of the program that has been put together cannot be understated and I'm very grateful to have been included in the 2025 cohort.” - Lynne Loo

is getting smarter, and Western Australia is leading the charge.

Last night AgriStart Pty Ltd delivered its 8th HARVEST Agtech Innovation Showcase & Pitch Night, with more than 100 industry leaders to celebrate the future of farming Burswood On Swan.

From driverless tractors to sustainability platforms, the HARVEST Accelerator cohort unveiled scalable, investor-ready solutions designed to supercharge agricultural efficiency.

Startups and SMEs pitched bold ideas, connected with investors, and showcased technologies built to solve real-world challenges on the land. Our legendary MC, Matthew Macfarlane also shared insights from his investment journey and the Agworld startup success.

👏 Congratulations to the visionary cohort: Arca Sustain, Cadmech Design Group, Health and Spice, Hexifeed, Ornata Technologies, R-Flow Exchange, RPTec SnailCam, and UXMachines

In a “where are they now” moment, we also had the privilege of hearing from one of the original HARVEST alumni from 2018, with Rob Kelly showing how they are transforming the livestock supply chain. Agora Livestock is also the first capital raise on a new agtech syndicate platform being launched later this month, which attendees got a sneak preview of last night. Visit www.agrispace.com.au to sign up when this launches.

🙏 A huge thank you to our program sponsors for helping WA’s Agtech sector thrive: Grains Research and Development Corporation, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, Wheatbelt Development Commission, Wrays | Intellectual Property, and Radium Capital.
