Exploring Opportunities for a First Location in Australia
Why Australia?
The development of SmartParc's campus is closely aligned with Australia's Net Zero 2050 strategy and Industry Sector Plans, which identify food and beverage manufacturing as one of the country's nine priority sectors for decarbonisation. SmartParc's low-carbon energy infrastructure, including a closed-loop heating and cooling network powered by renewable energy, supports two of the Plans' key objectives by helping businesses reduce energy use and recover and reuse process heat.
Australia's food and beverage manufacturing sector contributes over 37bn dollars GVA to the economy every year and supports thousands of businesses across dairy, meat, seafood, beverages, grains, ingredients and value-added food production. As the population continues to grow, demand for premium Australian food exports is increasing, alongside investment in advanced manufacturing. Together, these trends are creating strong demand for new, sustainable production facilities.
With its well-established food and agribusiness sector, growing export opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region and highly skilled workforce, Australia is a natural fit for the SmartParc model. By bringing food manufacturers, logistics providers and shared infrastructure together in one location, SmartParc helps businesses lower costs, improve efficiency and reduce their environmental impact.
