We work with a variety of partners to build and support a thriving innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem currently across five regions nationally. Partners range from universities, tech transfer offices, research institutions, farmer organizations and public agencies to local development and entrepreneurial support organizations that see agriculture as vital to their area’s economic health and well-being.
AgLaunch’s open innovation model strengthens local economies by encouraging collaboration, attracting talent and investment, and by fueling innovation wherever it may be found regardless of geographical or civic boundaries. We bring valuable resources to the table such as our exclusive AgLaunch Farmer Network and farm-trialing platform, a national network of mentors, world-class accelerator programming and funding expertise to accelerate the commercialization and adoption of new technologies and supply chain innovations in the food and farm space. Tools in development include an online forum for specialty crops using smart contracts to support transparency in the marketplace and an aggregate data platform for farmer decision-making and technology benchmarking.
