Cluster Connect Accelerator Growth Program Demo Day
Kick off your evokeᴬᴳ week with a fast, focused look at the Australian startups and scaleups pushing the sector forward. In one hour, you’ll get a clear read on what’s actually working at the frontier of food and agriculture as founders share what they’ve built, what they’ve proved in the field, and where the next commercial opportunities are opening up.
You’ll hear sharp pitches, have a short window to chat with the teams, and then walk a few hundred metres to the evokeᴬᴳ Welcome Event already tuned into the themes and technologies that will shape the week. It’s an efficient way to scout practical solutions, early signals, and teams with real traction.
