Identifying Opportunities in a Shifting Sector
With an investment scope broader than ever, this session explores how investors are stretching beyond their traditional comfort zones. From backing early-stage, pioneering startups to supporting promising growth opportunities with follow-on investments, the diversity in funding stages is remarkable. We will also shed light on the shift in funded business models, ranging from traditional brick-and-mortar stores to cutting-edge agtech and foodtech companies.
Moreover, the focus of investment opportunities has significantly broadened from genetics, pesticides, and fertilization to now include digitization, data science, and alternative farming methods. Join us to uncover the emerging investment themes poised to shape the future of Agrifood and delve into varying investor perspectives on these developments.
