Overview
Join us for the 2024 ACG AgTech Conference, hosted by ACG St. Louis in partnership with 39 North. This marks the third installment of the ACG AgTech Conference, previously held in Raleigh-Durham, NC, and hosted by ACG Raleigh-Durham. Over the years, this conference has grown to become a significant event for AgTech operating companies and investors in the AgTech space.
The global AgTech market is on the rise. Consumer demands concerning food production and improvement of agricultural technology are boosting growth. As of 2024, the global AgTech market is worth $24.08 billion. By 2030, that amount rockets to over $43 billion. This conference takes a hard look at where the investment opportunities are currently and where private capital should be poised to take advantage of this rapid growth.
This two-day conference will help you better understand the AgTech landscape and investment opportunities within it. Conference attendees will benefit from onsite lab tours, content sessions led by industry professionals, and networking opportunities with leaders in the AgTech space. To ensure a best in class conference experience, ACG St. Louis has partnered with 39 North, a vibrant innovation district in St. Louis County, that offers the infrastructure, talent, and access to capital to facilitate agri-food tech innovation.
Greater St. Louis has steadily grown into a major hub for the agriculture technology industry. The region supports and cultivates players ranging from global corporations and research organizations to startups and educational institutions. This year's conference will be held at the Danforth Plant Science Center, the world’s largest nonprofit plant research institute where more than 400 scientists from 35+ different countries work in teams focused on research at the nexus of food, energy, and the environment.
