San Jose, 1 September 2025 (IICA) – Digital Agriculture Week, spearheaded by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), has become a premier forum aimed at strengthening the AgTech ecosystem of the Americas. The event brings together a diverse group of stakeholders—startups, researchers, producers, companies, cooperation and government agencies, incubators, accelerators and investment funds—to share experiences and innovations, as well as forge partnerships, to enhance digital transformation in agriculture.
 
The 2025 edition will take place from 22-25 September at IICA Headquarters in San Jose, Costa Rica, and will be streamed on the Institute’s YouTube channels in Spanish, English and Portuguese. The twenty winning AgTechs in the annual competition will enjoy all-expense paid participation in the event. Moreover, at least ten Agtechs from previous editions of the competition will also be in attendance.
 
Twelve of the startups were selected by a panel drawn from IICA’s strategic partners: Oliver Gonzalez and Paula Aponte (Infoagro Global and CurubaTech – the 2024 winners); advisors of the Digitalization Program—Laurens  Klerkx and Mariana Vasconcelos—and representatives of Bayer, CAF, the IDB, ECLAC, AWS, Universidad de Córdoba, PROCISUR, The Yield Lab, Endeavor, Danta Fund, SP Ventures, Pomona and Incofin. The eight remaining AgTechs were selected by countries that organized their own Digital Agriculture Day, which is the preparatory phase of the Week.  
 
The winning solutions come from entities in fourteen countries and are aligned with the six key areas of focus of this year’s edition: digitalization of field data records; digitalization of technical assistance and extension services; digitalization of trade and markets; traceability and oversight; digitalization of financial services; and digitalization of climate services.
