About

The Agrifood Innovation Institute (AFII) aims to accelerate transformative innovation to future-proof the Australian agrifood system by connecting The Australian National University (ANU) with industry and entrepreneurs.

Formerly known as the Centre for Entrepreneurial Agri-Technology, our purpose is to provide industry with a single point of access to the University’s significant research capability and infrastructure, allowing our world-class researchers to collaborate on projects which tackle complex long-term agrifood challenges.

We build interdisciplinary teams, harnessing the University’s research excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, as well as the humanities, arts and social sciences. In doing so, we help to translate research into real world impact, while helping to build the capability the industry needs for the future through education and training programs.

To learn more about how AFII can help you to co-design a solution to a problem you are facing, or turn an innovative idea into reality, contact our team.
