Rural AgTech Summit this Month

By José Alexandre Loyola, Region Director

On April 1st and 2nd, I represented the organization at the Final Workshop of the CoPaDi Project. CoPaDi is the acronym for an initiative known as the “Collaborative Development Project for Precision and Digital Agriculture to Strengthen the Innovation Ecosystem and the Sustainability of Brazilian Agri-food Chains.” This consortium between Brazil and Japan, promoted by Embrapa Instrumental and MAPA, was created for the exchange of experiences in data interoperability for agriculture in 3 areas: crops; livestock; and agroforestry.

The event took place in São Paulo/SP at Japan House and was attended by companies and entities representing the entire agribusiness value chain.

Coming up on 21 May, I will be in Piracicaba participating in the event: "Rural Summit AgTech Innovation 2026", again representing AgGateway. This is one of the main meetings of the agricultural innovation ecosystem in Brazil.

The event will feature startups, investors, and companies in the sector to discuss, in a practical way, topics that are already impacting the present and future of agribusiness. These will include artificial intelligence, new credit models, and the digitalization of the field. It's an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences, prospect members, expand strategic connections, and understand, in practice, where agribusiness is heading.

If you have any questions about activities in AgGateway’s Latin America region, please reach out to me via email.
