Australian agribusiness startup and innovation hub, SproutX has joined forces with Latin American-based early stage venture fund, NXTP Labs to launch AgtechPassport, an exchange program for agtech startups
Launched in Sydney by visiting Argentine Vice Minister for Agriculture, Ricardo (Ricky) Negri late last month, the AgtechPassport program is supported by Austrade, the Argentine Government and Qantas
‘Argentina is one of the few countries in the world that has considerable capacity to increase domestic agricultural production, but to be successful we need to rely on technology to transform our industry in a sustainable way. This program provides access to new technologies and new global value chains,’ said Vice Minister Ricky Negri during the launch
Shannon Powell, Austrade’s Senior Trade Commissioner for Andean Latin America said the AgtechPassport is the first program of its kind in Australia and is focused on helping Australian and Latin American agtech startups gain international exposure, cross-pollinate and commercialise their ideas.
