CAAIN needs passionate and forward-thinking Alberta agricultural producers to participate in our new Prairie Agtech Validation Program. This initiative is designed to bring the latest advancements in digital agriculture directly to the farm.
Our program offers two unique engagement pathways:
- Partner in Development: Collaborate with promising prairie-based agtech companies in their early stages. By providing invaluable feedback and insights as an expert customer, you will directly influence the development trajectory of technologies, ensuring they are practical and effective for your operations, ultimately accelerating their commercialization.
- Validate and Showcase Innovation: We will select four producers to collaborate closely with agtech companies and leading research experts. With financial backing from CAAIN, you will have the opportunity to validate and demonstrate pre-commercial digital agriculture innovations directly in your operation. This real-world testing is crucial for preparing these technologies for a successful and rapid market launch.
If your innovation targets farmers or ranchers, you might be a perfect fit. We need forward-thinking innovators eager to forge stronger connections with the agricultural community.
CAAIN’s Prairie Agtech Validation Program offers two ways for you to participate in this innovative initiative:
- Connect up-and-coming Prairie-based agtech companies with producers to help ensure your development trajectory will reach the farm or ranch and accelerate commercialization. Think of this as working with the expert customers.
- With CAAIN’s financial support, each of two companies will be paired with two producers and research experts to validate and demonstrate pre-commercial innovation in a commercial environment, helping support a quicker and more successful agtech product launch.
