We were present at AGSTAR! ✋ The Yield Lab team once again witnessed all the alliances and networks that are built in spaces such as #Agstar, a meeting held in Bogotá that is committed year after year to providing a space for the exchange of knowledge, conversations and networking between key players in the agri-food system. This year's meeting also offered a valuable opportunity for the winning StartUps of the #AGSTAR contest to present their pitches to prominent investors in the sector. Agstar is built upon three core pillars: 👉 Focus: Identifying critical challenges facing the agri-food sector. 👉 Search: Showcasing innovative StartUps that offer solutions to these challenges. 👉 Integration: Connecting key industry stakeholders through a platform rich in proposals to address their needs. Driven by these pillars, #TheYieldLabLatam proudly continues to support this event, actively participating in panels and debates. We firmly believe that such spaces are essential for cultivating a thriving network, where new actors contribute their expertise and collectively improve the entire production chain, ultimately boosting the productivity of our projects. 💪

Our COO Anni Anttonen took the stage at TechBBQ yesterday, joining a panel discussion on how Nordic values and innovation can be leveraged to tackle global challenges. The conversation focused on how the Nordic community can champion diversity, foster sustainable innovations, and ensure technology advances equity and inclusivity. ✨ Anni emphasized, "The Nordic region is celebrated for its strong, shared values, innovative spirit, and collaborative mindset. But how can we, as a startup ecosystem, truly unite to address some of the world's most pressing challenges—geopolitical, environmental, and social?" 🚀 She highlighted the strength of the close-knit Nordic ecosystem, where we meet at events and conferences, getting inspired to collaborate, but she urged that we concretise this spirit of collaboration into everyday processes, asking, "How can we, as a unified Nordic ecosystem, support startups together, all year round?" As the world already views the Nordics as a united region, Anni underscored the importance of leveraging our shared values to create impactful collaborations that serve the common good. “The domestic markets are so small - we should find ways to work together” she concluded. 🌍 💡Would you have any ideas, how could we make it happen? #Nordic #Startup #Ecosystem #TechBBQ #panel

Very different takes on the same issue. The interesting part is that both non-institutionals (Beekee and Kiwix) had a client-centric, content- and results-first approach (and grow from there), whereas Giga is entirely top-down, working with governments to map schools everywhere before trying to get them all connected to the broader internet.
