About the Summit

Scaling Performance-Driven Solutions for Climate & Economy

The World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in San Francisco unites more than 2500 senior decision-makers across the agri-food industry to build a more sustainable and resilient supply chain.

Global leaders from agribusinesses, technology giants, food brands, farmers, farming co-operatives, policymakers, investors, and start-ups will meet to scale innovation and create value in the sector.

A high-level speaking faculty focuses on tangible developments, case studies, and commercialization pathways as they discuss supply chain decarbonization, seed-shelf AI, robotics and automation, next-gen breeding, green and biological inputs, new finance and insurance models, and income diversification strategies.

Celebrating its 13th year on March 11-12, 2025, this flagship event will transform the San Francisco Mariott Marquis into the global hub for agri-food innovation discovery, high-level networking, and deal-making.

Alongside a two-day program of insightful plenaries, the summit welcomes back the Start-Up Arena to feature even more early and growth stage companies, plus interactive breakfast briefings, breakout sessions, roundtables, 1-1 networking, and exciting, new pre-event workshops and forums.
