About SIFT
Discover the driving force behind WA's food innovation precinct
The Sustainable Innovative Food Technologies (SIFT) Centre is a collaboration between the WA State Government through the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, Future Food Systems CRC, and Murdoch University. SIFT is a common-use facility, providing a pathway to scale-up food enterprises by reducing the risk and cost involved when significant capital investment is required before commercial scale market testing.
SIFT supports primary producers, food and beverage businesses, entrepreneurs, and start-ups in scaling-up and mitigating risks associated with business growth. By enabling the development, testing, and commercial production of innovative value- added food and beverage products, SIFT provides access to advanced manufacturing technologies and processes.
