See the future of ag innovation at Spur AgConverge

Each year, entrepreneurs launch new technologies, researchers generate breakthrough discoveries, and investors deploy capital into promising ventures. Yet many innovations never make it onto farms and ranches. Spur AgConverge aims to connect entrepreneurs, farmers, ranchers, researchers and industry, strengthening Nebraska’s ag innovation ecosystem, and supporting development of new tools that solve relevant problems.

The two-day event will include a startup showcase in which seven entrepreneurs pitch their innovations to producers, as well as demonstrations of new ag technologies, a panel discussion featuring leading researchers about where U.S. agriculture is headed, and much more.

The conference the sponsored by Spur Ventures, an entrepreneurship and innovation initiative in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

When: Nov. 17-18

Where: Raising Nebraska, inside the Nebraska Building at the Nebraska State Fairgrounds, 501 Fonner Park Rd., Grand Island
