We encourage collaboration and create space for new and innovative technologies and techniques to be tested in real world conditions within a full scale commercial farm environment.
Skills, training, talent
We create opportunities for individuals from non-agriculture backgrounds to learn new skills while gaining hands-on experience and exposure to a wide variety of career opportunities in digital agriculture.
Capital enablement
We support start-ups and connect agri-food entrepreneurs with resources, mentorship, connections, and financial support to expand digital agriculture and attract new business to Manitoba.
