The GrowHub, Asia Pacific’s foremost traceability platform for food and skincare, manages the GrowHub Innovation Centre and the Data Hub within the prestigious Food Innovation Precinct Western Australia. This collaboration extends a warm invitation to KSU students, alumni, and participants in its Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship to engage in collaborative initiatives with Australian businesses and enterprises within the GrowHub Innovation Centre. Additionally, The GrowHub is enthusiastic about harnessing the advanced technologies and cutting-edge research capabilities of Kyoto Sangyo University to further bolster its platform’s footprint across the Asia Pacific region.

The GrowHub is honoured to have hosted President Akira Kurosaka and the management delegation from KSU at the GrowHub Innovation Centre. The delegation was warmly received by the Shire of Murray, underscoring the community’s excitement and support for this promising partnership.

Mr. Lester Chan, CEO of The GrowHub, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This collaboration presents an exciting avenue for mutual growth and achievement. Kyoto Sangyo University’s expertise in satellite imaging, artificial intelligence, and data processing perfectly aligns with our objectives for technological advancement. We are confident that this collaboration will expedite our progress in the region.”

This strategic partnership is poised to invigorate business activities at the GrowHub Innovation Centre, creating avenues for impactful research, technology commercialization, and knowledge exchange. The collaboration is expected to foster robust relationships and drive meaningful innovation on both fronts.

We are excited about the potential to contribute to The GrowHub’s regional growth while providing unique opportunities for our students and faculty to engage with industry leaders.”
