Queensland Sustainable and High-Tech Agri-Food Corridor (QSHAC)

Having experience of Malaysian Multimedia Super Corridor, (MSC), as one of the largest investments of the Malaysian history in IT, QSHAC is suggested to deliver research, innovations and products developed by QLD’s researchers, entrepreneurs, farmers and food producers to the world. This corridor will be a hub for Research Institutes, Innovation Hubs, City Councils, Technology Parks, Incubators and connects two QLD’s main Agricultural import/export ports: Brisbane to Toowoomba. QSHAC development plan is aligned with QLD’s Department of Agriculture and Fisheries’ strategic plan for 2023, to:

• Improved employability through creating of an integrated, aligned and evolving ecosystem of Agri-Food clusters in QLD
• Invest on R&D and innovation to develop and introduce modern technologies for agriculture and food businesses, e.g. smart supply chain management.
• Creating a new ecosystem and sustainable economy relied on exporting technologies and products to Asia and facilitating revenue back to Australia.
• Improving biosafety and security and related technologies for the local and global market.
• Assisting current investors, research institutes and producers and current advance infrastructure in this Corridor.
• Supporting environment and sustainability of this Corridor, through entrepreneurship, improved employability, green processing, production and shipment.
