We support innovators who are shaping the future of food production.

The Agtech Zone is one of Canada’s leading innovation ecosystems for agtech and plant-based bioproducts.

Founded on a simple yet powerful idea, the Agtech Zone is based on the conviction that for an innovation to truly transform agriculture, it must be able to take root in a concrete environment, connected to the field, with the right allies, the right levers, and favorable conditions for growth. It is through collaboration with committed partners who understand the realities of technological development and the agricultural market that the most relevant innovations come to life and reach their full potential.
