Reflecting on a truly memorable week with the 2022-2025 FFAR Fellows in St. Louis focusing on the Ag-Tech Ecosystem! Special thanks to our site-visit contacts who made it happen: Michael Davies at the Helix Center Biotech Incubator; James Carrington and Tam McGuire at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center; Daniela Pezzini and Phil Taylor at Bayer Crop Science; and Kevin Kapelski, Kevin Dill, and Gretchen Riley, MBA at Purina Mills, LLC

FYI...this is a pretty exciting job.

The celebrity (no matter how famous) in you deserves a #stepandrepeat moment! I thoroughly enjoyed christening 39 North's background during the FFAR Fellows Program: Future Leaders for Food & Agriculture! Bonus interacting with Rishi Masalia (39 North) and Shaun Scott (Skeleton Key) too - awesome guys! Being amongst driven professionals making an impact in St. Louis is always exciting! Keep up the great work! [ #STLMade | The Future of Agri-Food Tech is STLMADE ]

#BioBash 2024 was a success! Thank you to all the participants, sponsors, and volunteers that made this event memorable. I hope we can continue to provide professional development opportunities to the early career scientists of the St. Louis region.

Just another beautiful sunset in the 39N Innovation District! Yesterday, I attended my third BioBash with CoverCress Inc. at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and had the opportunity to connect with many fascinating and passionate people in the BioTech sector. It's always wonderful to see both familiar and new faces at events like this. I’m thankful for the opportunity to keep representing CoverCress, sharing what we do, and highlighting the upcoming opportunities on the horizon.

🎉 And that's a wrap on the 2024 ACG AgTech Investor Conference! This event was packed with inspiring talks and dynamic panel discussions on #innovation, #investment, and global trends, offering key advice for navigating the agtech space. Attendees gained fresh perspectives on the future of ag innovation and funding, heard success stories like CoverCress Inc., and explored the cutting-edge research at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. The networking sessions were a standout, bringing together thought leaders, innovators, and experts—all eager to drive the agtech industry forward! 🌿 Thanks to our friends and partners at ACG St. Louis for bringing together such a dynamic group and putting on a wonderful event.

💡 🚜 🌱 What an incredible experience! 39 North is grateful to have partnered with XPRIZE and The Lindbergh Foundation for the Agriculture Sustainability Moonshot Workshop right here in St. Louis—our vibrant hub for agtech, food innovation, and sustainability. The workshop, the first one in crop agriculture for XPRIZE, gathered an amazing mix of minds—farmers, researchers, scientists, policy experts, and private sector leaders—to talk about sector barriers and envision the future of agriculture. Using XPRIZE’s unique approach, the group developed eight visionary prize concepts focusing on farmer incentives, water circularity, soil health, plant engineering, and more. With 40+ organizations represented, attendees had the chance to tour the world-class Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and network with the broader St. Louis agtech ecosystem, building connections and future collaborations. Follow 39 North & XPRIZE as outcomes of this workshop are disseminated over the coming months. Thank you to everyone who joined us in advancing the future of sustainable agriculture. Together, we’re continuing to showcase what makes St. Louis a global leader in agtech innovation! 📸 : Wesley Law Lauren Greenlee Gregg Maryniak Jeff Ford David Babson Steele Ford Erik Lindbergh Emily Lohse-Busch Rebecca Rutte Sarah LaPlante, MSW Rishi Masalia #39North #MoonshotWorkshop #XPRIZExSTL #STLMade #AgTech #Agrifood #SustainableAgriculture #FoodTech #AgricultureInnovation #FutureOfFood #ClimateSmartAg #SmartFarming #AgriTech #Sustainability #UrbanAgriculture #StLouisInnovation #STLCommunity #GreenTech #TechForGood #PrecisionAgriculture #STLStartups #AgricultureTech #EcosystemBuilding #InnovationDistrict #MidwestTech
