Drought Resilience Lab

Get market-ready in 12 weeks.

The Studio’s Drought Resilience Lab, supported by the Future Drought Fund equips ag innovators with the resources, specialised support, and networks to turn their technologies into impactful ventures.

With funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund, our focus is to improve the drought-resilience of Australian farmers.

We are building the next wave of world-leading companies in drought resilience.

Australia's natural adversity makes us a hotbed for innovation. A future world with longer, more intense periods of drought will be the source pain and hardship for farmers.

But it creates an opportunity for our researchers and industry experts to share their knowledge with the world. Australia can set a new global standard in drought-resilient agriculture.

With new models for commercialising our research, a future generation of agtech startups can take our hard-won expertise to the world.
