by entrepreneurs during the upcoming pitch contest

The Forum was conducted as a series of six virtual events in 2021, each consisting of multiple sessions of presentations, moderated discussions, and Q&A sessions with world-renowned experts. A pitch contest provided an opportunity for entrepreneurs to present their business idea to a panel of judges and compete for prizes.

Participation in the Forum was FREE and open to all who have an interest in the application of agricultural innovations. Each event was recorded and may be viewed in our YouTube playlist.
