What Factors Should Investors Consider When Evaluating AGTech StartUps? Opportunities and Challenges in AGTech Investments The AGTech sector presents a dynamic landscape, marked by fluctuating interest and investment valuations. Sarai Kemp, an #Agritech investor from Israel, highlights the shifting focus of generalist investors: "Many investors who joined during peak valuation years are now retreating. This exodus opens doors for my new venture #fund to capitalize on undervalued companies." Sarai also points to untapped potentials in Africa, emphasizing the necessity of local insights: "Africa's growing market is ripe with opportunity, yet effective #investment demands local presence to navigate diverse climates and complex political landscapes." The Critical Role of Team and Expertise in AGTech Startups Expertise and team dynamics are critical in AGTech's success. Sarai stresses the importance of discerning investment choices: "It’s vital to discern between promising and poor investments right from the start, ensuring you support teams with solid business and R&D foundations." Echoing this sentiment, Jean-Guillaume Marquaire from Norselab in Norway underscores the value of industry knowledge: "Understanding the agricultural sector is crucial. Regulatory knowledge can either facilitate advancements or become significant hurdles, particularly in fields like genetic engineering." Scaling and Long-Term Commitment in AGTech Ventures AGTech scaling is markedly different from typical tech ventures. Magnus Lind from SKANOR GROUP LTD in Sweden points out, "Unlike tech, AGTech can’t scale exponentially through rapid facility multiplication; active, informed investing is essential for tangible returns." Jean-Guillaume Marquaire highlights the sector's slow development cycle: "#AGTech investments are more akin to marathon than sprint, dealing with lengthy development periods dictated by natural growth cycles and requiring substantial #capital." The 193rd PIFW, "Future Harvest - Cultivating Investment Success in Agriculture," held on October 10, 2024, was a pivotal gathering for agricultural #investors. This exclusive event brought together 30 seasoned investors to address key topics. The discussions provided insightful strategies on navigating the future of agriculture and aquaculture investments. We sincerely thank our speakers for sharing their valuable insights at the forum: Craig Astill Magnus Lind Sarai Kemp Jean-Guillaume Marquaire Join our investment community by registering for the upcoming 194th G.I.L.C.

Humanity has shown that population increase and climate change are hazardous combinations, as nations struggle to feed a population that is growing at an alarming rate while water, which is essential to agriculture, is becoming increasingly scarce. By measuring the amount of water that crops truly require to thrive, Israeli companies has created a system that may save a significant portion of the valuable water used in farming. Based on the idea that this activity expends energy, which in turn generates heat, the business created a sensor that is directly inserted into the trunk or stem of a crop and tracks the plant's water consumption using temperature rises. An analytics program receives the data gathered by the sensors and converts temperature variations into the amount of water absorbed by the plant. Notable companies in the field include: Manna Irrigation, Metzer, Netafim, Rivulis Irrigation, Paskal, SupPlant, Talgil and Viridix Details at: https://lnkd.in/dn6ndTz4 Gal Saf Trang Minh Nghiem Luan Nguyen #Israel #Vietnam #agriculture #irrigation #sensors #foodtech
