Spot Spraying in the USA: High-Tech Weed Weapon – or Costly Gimmick?

Spot spraying promises lower costs and greater efficiency – but when does the math actually work? Are the investments worth it? Does the technology deliver in the field? And how does weed pressure evolve in the years that follow? Learn from the real-world experience of a U.S. farmer. Choosing the right system – from the sprayer and detection technology to nozzle selection and compatible herbicides – every detail counts. Spot spraying has real advantages: reduced labor thanks to targeted application, new possibilities for herbicides with crop safety concerns, less soil compaction – and a strategic edge in managing resistance. But how much yield benefit can you expect? Join us for a practical talk featuring a farmer from Nebraska, USA – followed by an open discussion.

Start-Ups x Venture Capital: Building Successful AgTech Ventures

AgTech is evolving fast, and so are the rules of venture funding. This session offers an honest look at what it really takes to succeed - whether you’re VC-backed or bootstrapped. We’ll unpack lessons from the past 36 months, explore which business models and technologies attract capital, and discuss how expectations around cap tables have shifted. Learn how founders can keep their product, business, and financing on a healthy path, and what VCs bring beyond money - networks, expertise, and operational support. Plus, we’ll tackle the big question: Does the VC model truly fit AgTech?
