60 second video highlights the importance of partnerships when scaling agtech innovation.
In this 60 second clip, Alterra Innovation’s Principal Managing Partner Ellery Burton shares how partnerships and collaboration have been essential to the success and growth of his company.
“I take that approach with what we do, and it’s been hugely beneficial. Don’t be afraid to shoot somebody a message on LinkedIn,” said Burton. “I think that’s the spirit of agriculture, is to collaborate. Take the time to have a coffee and have a conversation. Get off your your computer and your phones. As innovators, get out in the field. Get your hands dirty. A farmer is going to very quickly tell you whether whether it’s a good product or not. There are lots of challenges in agriculture, so we need each other.”
Since 2020, Agriculture Enlightenbed has brought together a diverse stakeholder group including agri-food and technology experts, industry leaders, decision-makers, researchers, and students from across the prairies. We look forward to building on the success of the last six years with another outstanding event that provides a space for excellent speakers, discussion, and an opportunity to network with leaders from across digital agriculture.
