Why agritech events matter: the numbers

  • Global agrifoodtech funding reached $16.2 billion in 2025, almost flat (−3%) on 2024, according to AgFunder.
  • Upstream start-ups, the ones building technology for farms, food production and biological systems, raised $9 billion, up 7%, even as their deal count fell 12% (AgFunder). Investors are writing fewer, larger cheques for farm tech.
  • Women founders started 34% of new agrifood startups in Europe, up from 17% a decade ago, according to an EIT Food and Dealroom report summarised by the EU Agri-Food Platform.

How to choose an agritech event

  1. Buyers or investors? FRUIT LOGISTICA, Agrishow, GreenTech and AGRITECHNICA put you in front of growers, dealers and machinery makers; World Agri-Tech, Animal AgTech and evokeAG. bring investors and corporate scouts.
  2. Use the start-up formats. FRUIT LOGISTICA's €995 Startup World package and AGRITECHNICA's Start-up Area cost far less than a normal stand, and World Agri-Tech and Animal AgTech have USD 1,000 start-up passes.
  3. Watch the deadlines. The Grüne Woche Startup Days close applications on 12 November 2026, and AGRITECHNICA stand booking opens on 16 November 2026.
  4. Follow the season. Farmers are busiest in spring and harvest; the winter fairs (January to March) are when they have time to talk.
  5. Pick your region. Brazil (Agrishow, World Agri-Tech South America), Australia (evokeAG.) and the US (World Agri-Tech, Animal AgTech) are big export markets for European agtech.
