After an impactful period from 2022-24, FoodINC's Preston Test Kitchen ceased operations in May 2024. We are immensely proud of the food startups that flourished within the kitchen offering, establishing sustainable food and beverage businesses. This is not the end of our commitment. We remain dedicated to supporting food and beverage businesses through a range of programs at Melbourne Innovation Centre.
