Ventures Industry Challenge in collaboration with OzHarvest
Use your entrepreneurial skills to help halve Australia's national food waste by 2030.
UQ students across all disciplines are encouraged to join our Ventures Industry Challenge. Work with our innovation partner to develop a real-world solution to a real-world challenge. This year's challenge focuses on the problems and opportunities surrounding Australia's national food waste. Teams will compete for multiple prizes worth $11,000.
In collaboration with OzHarvest, this year's mission will look to improve farming practices, efficient logistics and retail, and positive consumer behaviours around food waste. Specifically, students will explore how Australia can achieve its national target of halving food waste by 2030 in-line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and how society can become more environmentally sustainable and economically resilient.
