Engage and innovate!
Australian-Grown Innovation is running FREE Engage workshops across Australia and online this October and November, and you’re invited to join them to learn about the practical process of innovation.
The Engage sessions are a series of practical workshops created by horticulture, for horticulture. Designed for growers, producers, supply chain participants and others working across the sector, the sessions provide practical tools to help you identify opportunities, develop new ideas and turn them into real outcomes.
Session attendees will:
- use practical innovation tools to explore whether an idea has market potential;
- learn how innovation is being applied across horticulture through real examples;
- identify opportunities to improve efficiency, diversify income or solve a business challenge;
- connect with growers and other horticulture professionals facing similar challenges.
