Part II – Navigating Opportunity in Agtech: Scaling, Execution & Capital Models

21 Sept 2026

This session moves from macro trends to investment decision-making and execution realities. 

It focuses on how investors evaluate agtech and agri-food innovation in practice, particularly at early and growth stages. 

Key themes include:

  • Why many agtech ventures fail to transition from pilot to scale
  • What defines true scalability in fragmented agricultural markets
  • Deep tech defensibility versus commercial execution risk
  • The impact of biological timelines on investment structures and exits
  • The role of retailers, corporates, and supply chains in enabling scale
  • Capital models better aligned with long-cycle agricultural innovation  

Outcome: A practical framework for distinguishing between technically compelling innovation and commercially scalable investment opportunities

Participants will gain:

  • A clear macro-to-micro investment lens on global agri-food transformation
  • Insight into how capital allocation is shifting under systemic agricultural stress
  • A sharper understanding of which agtech models are scaling – and which are stalling
  • Benchmarking against peer institutional and strategic investor thinking
  • A refined view of agriculture as a distinct, system-driven investment class requiring adapted capital strategies
