Proudly supported by Woolworths

Seedlab Australia is proudly supported by Woolworths, with an additional $7m funding provided for the period July 2024-June 2027.

This funding supports aspiring and new Woolworths suppliers via 2 rounds of Bootcamp and Cultivate programs each year, with the addition of the 12 month rolling Nurture program to support new suppliers to supply well, and further Propagate program support for current suppliers.  

A core pillar of Seedlab Australia’s programs are the insights, information and support from Woolworths, on almost every aspect of their operations. 

Participants are provided with invaluable information about consumer trends, supply and demand, food trends, logistics, marketing and promotions (and more), with opportunities for live conversations.

The private Woolworths Seedlab Australia Expo and the Seedlab Hub provides the opportunity for participants to present their products to Category Managers and key staff.
