Being part of AgLaunch365 will help us to:
Accelerate our R&D and product development timeline
Validate, pilot, and scale our technology in collaboration with industry partners
Connect with investors and potential customers who share our vision for resilient agriculture
Gain feedback and guidance to ensure our products are not only scientifically valid but also practical and effective for growers
