Accelerating Agri-Food Innovation to Tackle Climate Change

The World Agri-Tech South America Summit returns to São Paulo on June 24-25, marking its highly anticipated 6th edition. This premier event will welcome over 800 global and regional executives from across the global agri-food value chain, including farming cooperatives, agribusinesses, food and beverage companies, technology providers, public research institutions, government bodies, leading investors and innovative start-ups.

At the heart of the agenda is South America’s critical role in addressing global climate change. The summit will showcase the region’s strategic importance as a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture and global food security.

Beyond the main sessions, attendees can engage in interactive roundtables, breakout discussions, and one-on-one networking opportunities, fostering connections and collaborations essential to unlocking the full potential of South American agriculture.
