Our projects

We are delivering projects under five key areas that will evolve as the sector develops. These include regulation, communication & awareness, sector building, policy & advocacy, and accountability. Take a look below at our current projects, as well as highlights of our historical projects and initiatives.

Policy & Advocacy

The policy, regulatory frameworks, and public funding mechanisms are in place allowing Australia’s cellular agriculture sector to realise its potential.

Regulation

Cellular agriculture companies have access to an Australian regulatory framework that is attractive, clear, consistent and easily accessible, thus removing barriers to scale.

Sector building

Australia's cellular agriculture ecosystem is made up of a diverse group of research, product and service producers required across the value chain, enabling the industry to scale sustainably.

Communication & awareness

There is widespread familiarity and trust of cellular agriculture technologies, the industry and the products produced.

Accountability & impact

The cellular agriculture industry in Australia is objectively measuring its performance across a number of social, environmental and economic indicators.

Talent development
