Event Highlights

Partners

We are a leading, science-based agriculture company, empowering farmers to meet the demands of modern agriculture. Using cutting-edge innovation, we help farmers to grow resilient, healthy crops that can feed a growing global population, while promoting sustainable farming practices that protect and enhance our planet. Headquartered in Switzerland, we are a global agritech leader with more than 30,000 employees across over 90 countries.

Arva seeks to empower producers as trusted stewards of the land. We ask ourselves “Will it make the farmer more profitable and more sustainable?” before making a decision.

At Bayer, we believe it´s possible to create a better world where health and nutrition are accessible to all, embodying our mission "Health for all, Hunger for none". As a global company with core competencies in health care and agriculture, we design our products and services to address the world´s greatest challenges and the most fundamental human needs.

At BetterSeeds, we’re revolutionizing agriculture with advanced gene editing. We believe that combating climate change requires innovative solutions, and that starts with stronger plant genetics.

Holganix and the American farmer are revolutionizing the way we grow crops and plants, restoring life to the soil to make it healthier and ensure thrivability for all.

At Phospholutions, we believe that sustainable production and responsible use of phosphorus is fundamental to support a growing population. We develop technologies that increase fertilizer efficiency to enhance global phosphorus use.

Solar Foods is a Finnish food technology company on a mission to revolutionise global food production. The way humanity is feeding itself is wrecking the climate, the soil, and the biodiversity of the planet and is putting billions at risk. Solar Foods has found the next step in the evolution of our food system.

Our goal is to use agricultural data collected from sensors and other sources, analyze it using Statistical Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence technologies, and deliver this holistic intelligence to farmers through digital services.

We aim to be the ideal end-to-end digital partner: from harvest and packing, to shipping and delivery, for a seamless full-service experience.

We design crops to take on the world’s biggest challenges. Wild plants thrive in every environment on Earth. Our platform harnesses these wild solutions to develop next generation crops.
