Research & Innovation Partnerships

Got breakthrough science? We’ll help it change the world.

Advancing dairy through science — scaling impact through food and business

At the Institute of Dairy, our vision is to become the world’s most trusted source of real-world wisdom in dairy, food, and business — and research partnerships are how we get there. We work with scientists, universities, and innovation institutes to turn data-driven discovery into solutions that scale from the laboratory into industry.

Dairy is our core, but we recognise its future will be shaped by breakthroughs across nutrition science, environmental systems, food technology, consumer behaviour, supply chain economics, and digital transformation. That’s why our partnerships span disciplines — from metabolic health and emissions reduction to traceability, product innovation and business resilience. Our role is to connect researchers not only to industry knowledge, but to the environments where ideas can be trialled, refined and deployed at scale.

We operate at the intersection of research, industry and market application — providing access to commercial testing environments, co-authorship and co-funding pathways, and translation support to move great science beyond publication into real-world tools and training. If your research is ready for reach and implementation, we’d welcome a conversation.

Reach out to our Business Development Advisor and let’s accelerate what comes next — for dairy and beyond.
