World Agri-Tech South America Summit 2024 | ReThink Events | 17 June 2024 | Hotel Unique São Paulo, Jardim Paulista, São Paulo, Brazil

in its fourth year, the summit boasted an audience of local and international stakeholders in South America’s flourishing agri-food ecosystem, as well as an expert speaking faculty comprised of growers, agribusinesses, food corporates, start-ups, investors, and government agencies.

Providing a bird’s-eye view of how technologies are increasing productivity for some of the largest farming systems in the world, the summit explored how new investments, collaborations and distribution systems are helping bring advanced agri-tech solutions to scale.

From biologicals and soil health to carbon markets and fintech, the in-depth agenda showcased the vast potential of this region to drive a global transition to sustainable and climate-smart farming practices.

Complementing the main plenary was a full schedule of interactive breakout sessions, networking receptions, and 1-1 meetings to make it easier and faster to exchange ideas and identify future partners.

With a regional content focus and international delegation, the summit offers an invaluable platform for sharing best practice, making new connections, and forming long-lasting business relationships.

Join us for an unmissable week of agri-food thought leadership and golden networking opportunities.
