AgriTech Incubator

The AgriTech Incubator aims to spark innovation and economic development in the Riverina by offering incubator programs, providing co-working spaces, fostering greater participation of women in entrepreneurial activities, and supporting SMEs to overcome R&D challenges through access to University facilities and expertise.

Our purpose

The mission of the AgriTech Incubator is to support the development of the start-up ecosystem and SME business innovation in the wider Riverina NSW by:

Supporting human capacity and infrastructure development
Supporting other regional development, government and business agencies working towards similar goals
Collaborating with local businesses actively supporting start-ups and SMEs.

The AgriTech Incubator will achieve these goals through:

Tailored incubator programs
Providing co-working spaces in a dedicated Incubator Hub on CSU's Wagga Wagga Campus
Offering specialised programs supporting women and girls into tech and entrepreneurial activities
Providing TechVouchers to support small businesses solve R&D challenges.

What people are saying

The CSU AgriTech Incubator provided an opportunity to meet with other entrepreneurs in the early stages of their business ventures. By the end of the eight weeks, I was not only ready to present my pitch, but put the initial phase of my business plan into action.
