Welcome to FoodTech Tasmania Demo Day 2024

Celebrating Tasmanian Food Innovation Ecosystem

FoodTech Tasmania looks toward a better tomorrow by bringing together innovation and passion. Together, we strive to make an active change by reimagining and advancing the sustainable food ecosystem through accelerating outstanding startups from around the world who challenge the status quo and share our mission.

Our cohort of ten trail-blazing startup and scaleup companies will pitch their innovative solutions contributing to a more sustainable food ecosystem. The cohort are extremely diverse, from cutting-edge biotechnology that upcycles food waste into protein (& jet fuel) and a crowdfunding investment model for biodiversity and soil restoration.

We will be live streaming the event. Join us and our program partners including the Tasmanian Government, Meat & Livestock Australia, Norske Skog, Hort Innovation, Du Cane Brewery and FermenTasmania as we showcase these amazing companies. We would also like sincerely thank the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry for sponsoring all major events of the program.

This unique event will be held in a hybrid format, both in person at Du Cane Brewery in Launceston, Tasmania, and via live stream virtually by VIPs from across government, investment, business, the food industry, the press, as well as the Australian and international startup communities.
