BASF presents the AgroStart program at the Path Festival in São Paulo

Considered the largest festival of creativity and innovation in Brazil, the event has a diverse program, consisting of lectures, shows, a gastronomic fair, films, an art exhibition, a startup and games fair.

Due to the strong demand for innovations focused on agribusiness, Festival Path will have an agenda focused on the sector that has increasingly aroused the interest of young entrepreneurs. In the lecture Seed Capital, angels and investment funds: what are investors looking for who can support your AgTech startup?, which takes place on the first day of the event, BASF's Digital Marketing Manager for Latin America, Almir Araújo, will present AgroStart.

The program, in partnership with ACE, manages and accelerates startups for the agricultural chain. On this occasion, entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to learn about AgroStart and learn how it can leverage and consolidate companies.

“Participating in the Path Festival is a great opportunity to discuss market technologies and present the AgroStart program to a creative and innovative audience, who are always aware of the latest trends and can contribute to strengthening the startup ecosystem for agribusiness”, highlights Almir Araújo.

Entrepreneurs interested in participating in the program need to offer solutions that help the agricultural chain with five important challenges: crop management, field automation, inventory management, precision agriculture and traceability.
