Scaling Performance-Driven Solutions for Economic Prosperity

The World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit returns to San Francisco on March 17-18, 2026, bringing together 2,000 leaders from across global agriculture and food, including agribusinesses, technology innovators, food brands, investors, startups, philanthropists, and government agencies.

As we enter the agentic age, AI has shifted from tool to co-pilot, strategist, and catalyst for transformation. This year’s summit will explore how autonomous systems, predictive intelligence, and smart robotics are reshaping how we grow, invest, and operate across the agri-food system — spotlighting deeptech breakthroughs, scalable business models, and partnerships driving resilience from soil to supply chain. Senior decision-makers will assess how innovations in automation, biotechnology, and precision agriculture are advancing from experimentation to commercial reality, unlocking new levels of profitability, efficiency, and sustainability.

Now in its 14th year, the summit once again transforms the San Francisco Marriott Marquis into the global hub for agri-tech discovery, investment, and deal-making. This is where the future of agriculture is shaped: fast, intelligent, and radically collaborative.

The 2026 edition begins with a pre-summit program on March 16, including an Innovation in Action tour to Tanimura & Antle and The Reservoir in Salinas, followed by two days (March 17-18) of visionary plenaries, case studies, roundtables, and curated 1:1 networking. The expanded Start-Up Arena returns, alongside new editorial deep dives, and dedicated breakfast briefings including our Women in Ag Breakfast, and more opportunities to connect, learn, and accelerate impact together.
