Rethink Events, a William Reed company, is bringing its renowned World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit to Mexico City on October 29-30, 2024.
With the goal of accelerating climate-smart agri-food innovation and investment across the region, the event extends the acclaimed World Agri-Tech global portfolio of summits held in London, San Francisco, São Paulo and Dubai.
Mexico is a world-leading producer of high-value fruits, vegetables, grains and livestock, with a gross production value forecast to grow to US $57bn in 2024. Growth in demand, both domestically and for export, combined with the challenges of drought and desertification, is creating an urgent need for new technologies that support efficient and sustainable farming.
The World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in Mexico City will provide insight into agtech solutions targeted at both large-scale and smallholder farms, including smart irrigation and digital platforms, new opportunities in biological crop protection, the latest innovations in controlled environment horticulture, and the challenges presented by the transition to regenerative agriculture practices.
The summit will showcase emerging agtech investment opportunities in Mexico, and welcome international agribusinesses, F&B brands, technology providers, investors and start-ups to connect and forge partnerships with Mexico’s fast-growing agri-food ecosystem.
Jennie Moss, Founder & Managing Director at Rethink Events said: “We are delighted to bring the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit to Mexico City as it’s a key market for agri-food investment, with close ties to the USA.
“Farmers face huge challenges to optimize crop yields, address water scarcity and seize new opportunities for biological crop protection. The summit is a fantastic opportunity to hear from a cross-section of industry leaders and discover new technologies that will help scale agricultural production and reduce pressure on farmers.”
