PropaGATE
Join Western Australia’s First Landing Pad focused on improving agrifood systems
First Challenge
Bringing global innovations to transform Western Australia’s brewing industry.
PropaGATE is Western Australia’s first agtech focused landing pad bringing the world’s best technologies and solutions.
After two months of deep industry consultation, the first challenge that rose: Wastewater treatment in breweries.
While it starts with beer, the impact flows through farms, communities, and ecosystems. Many brewers want better solutions but don’t know where to start.
So, we opened the call and innovators from over 15 countries responded with sustainable, cost-effective wastewater solutions for WA breweries. We sponsored the trip for four top solutions to Perth to present at the innovator showcase.
Meet the Innovators solving wastewater management challenge for WA’s breweries.

Why focus on innovation?
The agriculture industry is vital for ensuring food security, driving trade, and supporting rural communities.
However, it faces pressing challenges like rising input costs, climate pressures, and global demands for traceability and sustainability. Innovative technologies can tackle key issues and enhance the sector's sustainability and resilience
Industry and stakeholder interviews have already highlighted key issues such as: 1) wastewater treatment 2) water quality monitoring 3) cattle emissions measurement 4) bird damage in orchards 5) weeding in horticulture, and many more. This long list of challenges is a living document and will continuously be updated, and we welcome input from all stakeholders.
