Who Joined the Start-Up Arena in 2025?
“The experience exceeded my expectations. World Agri-Tech provided an unparalleled opportunity to connect with key industry players, facilitating over 25 formal meetings in just two days. It is truly a premier platform for AgTech innovation, accelerating collaboration and business opportunities at a global scale.”
“Participating in the World Agri-Tech Summit in London has supercharged and accelerated our engagement with potential investors and clients. Our start-up hub booth and engagement in the panel conversations afforded us the opportunity to showcase our work and platform that accurately measures carbon, water and biodiversity remotely at scale.”
“Thank you World Agri-Tech for hosting Sultech in London. We made valuable connections with potential investors, research partners, and distribution and marketing channels in new geographies. The event facilitated these conversations as well as the opportunity for us to share our Sulphur, Made Better story with a global audience. It was exciting to be surrounded by the many great minds and leaders that are shaping the future of agriculture.”
"As an early-stage start-up, we must be very calculative about how to use our resources and what value World Agri-Tech can bring to us. It has definitely been highly valuable for us, and winning first place at the pitching session was the cherry on top."
