From coast to coast, #Canadian #innovators are pushing boundaries, exploring new frontiers, and making groundbreaking discoveries. Whether it's cutting-edge tech advancements, sustainable energy solutions, or creative developments in food and beverage, our nation is a powerhouse of innovation! Programs like SR&ED can help fuel this creativity by offsetting a portion costs of eligible R&D activities, which could be reinvested in other innovation opportunities. Incorporated businesses across all sectors, from #AI to #agriculture, #cosmetics to #construction, are discovering how SR&ED can help them fund new ways to solve problems and drive progress. 

Agricultural sustainability solutions require a systems approach, and must avoid over-simplification of the problem, solution and the wide ranging benefits, from directly on-farm to broad community benefits. #agtech #sustainability

As an Ag Science student, Terry McCosker was one of my primary influences in agricultural production systems, particularly in northern rangeland management. ♻️ Those core principles of sustainable land management and the importance of a systems approach haven’t changed in the past 30 years - but the market, regulatory and customer focus has increased the urgency for all producers to become land stewards, not just producers or managers. 🧑🏼🌾 Agtech solution providers must avoid over-simplification of sustainability problems and establish a producer-centric understanding of where their technology or service fits in the system solution. 💡 An important and thought-provoking opening the WA Innovation and Sustainability Showcase. 🫱🏼🫲🏽 Come and talk to me at #evokeAG to discuss how Farmers2Founders’ producer-centric approach, with a focus on innovation systems, is supporting #agtech startups to build, grow and become investable - in order to deliver agricultural sustainability solutions.

🔬Tech alert! Imagine a smart coating that automatically adjusts temperature without needing any power input. It may sound like sci-fi, but it's the reality being developed by Albotherm, a revolutionary AgTech startup from Bristol. 👩🔬Co-founders Molly Allington and Sian Fussell have created a transitional coating that turns from clear to white once a certain temperature is met, reflecting away excess light to prevent overheating. The potential implications for the Agriculture and AgTech industries are enormous, as efficient temperature control can significantly boost overall productivity. 📝 But don't take our word for it. Read more about how this ground-breaking technology is poised to revolutionise the way we think about temperature control in agriculture and beyond right here 👉 https://UKT.news/?p=13100 Let's support and celebrate such innovative startups that are reshaping our future in unimaginable ways. #AgTech #Startups #Innovation #Technology #Agriculture

Last month, ÄIO officially launched operations at their newly established Pilot Plant. 🚀 This Pilot Plant is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, their facility boasts a 350L bioreactor dedicated to food-grade production. This advancement holds immense potential to revolutionize the realms of food, cosmetics, and chemicals. Jana, Indrek & Aneth from team Beamline visited ÄIO's office & lab! 🧪 Thanks for the invitation ÄIO people! We're always excited to see the newest features of our startups with our own eyes! 👀 ÄIO has been in Beamline's portfolio since 2022 when the startup was founded. ÄIO is producing future-shaping fats and oils from by-products (such as forestry residues and food industry side streams) to replace palm oil, coconut oil and animal fats with sustainable and healthier alternatives. ÄIO - keep rocking, 'cause the #future is yours! 🤩 #startupsuccess #labtechnology #cleantechstartup #investments #BeamlineAccelerator #greentech #foodtech #pilotplant

Climate change poses a significant challenge to global food security, and 500-backed agritech startup Qarbotech aims to be part of the solution. “Traditional farming methods often overlook the potential of optimizing photosynthesis, focusing instead on soil and nutrient management,” explained Chor Chee Hoe, Co-founder & CEO. “Our technology shifts the focus to the leaves, significantly boosting photosynthetic efficiency, which translates to higher yields, improved crop quality, and greater resilience to environmental stressors.” What’s next for Qarbotech? “Expanding our market presence in Southeast Asia and beyond, further refining our product range, and developing new applications for our nanotechnology,” he revealed. “Our long-term goal is to be at the forefront of sustainable agricultural technology, contributing to global food security and environmental sustainability.” Read the full interview: https://bit.ly/4628Off Dr. Suraya Abdul Rashid #500Global #500SoutheastAsia #500Strong #startups #technology #innovation #venturecapital #asia #southeastasia #malaysia #agritech #agriculture #climatechange #foodsecurity #sustainability Photo credit: Maddyness

🌿 A question that I get asked often is "Why is there a sudden global interest in natural capital and agriculture from the investment community?". 😎 Its true, there is growing interest in #naturalcapital and #regenerativeagriculture 👨🌾 . In the past two decades, there has been significant investment interest in #renewables and #carbonavoidance, and this has now expanded to include #carbonremoval (an essential form of #climatemitigation), leading to the growing interest in #naturalcapital investment and important diversification for #impact investment. 👨💻 This has been facilitated by better tracking of nature 🦅 and natural forms of #carbonsequestration 🌲 through #technology and #innovation. Innovation in this area is essential to continue the develop natural capital investment. Regenerate Asset Management combines the benefits of sustainable agriculture with the monitoring precision of natural capital in its regenerative agriculture investment themes. Essential to facilitating better tracking of our investment's positive impact on #nature. Making food, impactful 🌻 It great to be coming back to World Agri-Tech for a second year in London to discuss the technology development for agriculture and natural capital. I'm looking forward to joining the 9.50am panel on "Financing the Green Transition in Food & Agriculture" chaired by Gemma Cranston with fellow panelists Johnny el Hachem, Laurent-David Charbit, Maria Carvalho and Peter Bachmann. If you are joining the event next Monday and Tuesday, come and listen!
