agriNEXT is leading the growth of Canada’s agritech and agrifood industries, including regenerative agriculture, reducing water use, expanding automation and AI, and reducing pesticides and pollutants.
Foresight has been supporting British Columbia’s agriculture sector since 2015. More formally in 2019, Foresight managed and expanded the AVAP to include a more robust program series, as well as other initiatives to help scale and promote our most promising AVAP ventures. We look forward to expanding this support across Canada, to support entrepreneurs focused on agritech and agrifood solutions
"The Foresight community has been key in helping me close my pre-seed raise and also access grant funding available to clean tech companies that I wouldn't have even known about without them."
"The Launch program was an effective way to know the entrepreneurial ecosystem. I recommend the course to StartUps that are in their initial stage. It will save them time and money to figure out the steps they have to take on their entrepreneurial journey."
“Foresight’s program was really valuable for us. They understood what we were trying to accomplish, they mentored us on the right path, taught us how to pitch, and brought in the expertise we needed.”
Agtech innovation is essential to meet the needs of a growing world and offers a compelling economic growth opportunity for Alberta. Foresight’s work to support agtech includes our agritech venture acceleration program, matchmaking and investor sessions, and research. Our most recent research provides a revealing look into the progress being made by agtech ventures.
