Israel’s Best Research and Development Presented in Agrivest Cnference

Agrivest Conference 2013 was held last week at Eretz Yisrael Museum in Tel Aviv.

 

More than 250 professionals gathered for an international conference exploring the state of agriculture technology and investment, specifically focusing on how Israel’s R&D advantage, the country’s unique multidisciplinary approach, and more than 100 years of experience tackling “food security” may indeed solve current global challenges.

 

Distinguished panelists included members of the Israeli government, executives from leading international agrochemical and food companies, as well as venture capitalists from international agritech-focused firms.

 

The conference was part a 4-day Agrivest Tour of Israel organized by The Trendlines Group which included visits to Israel’s top agricultural research organizations, as well as agritech start-up success stories, such as Evogene and Bio-Bee.

12 companies showcased the cutting edge developments and technologies in the agriculture industry. The companies were chosen by Prof. Avi Perl, chief scientist in the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture.
