Innovators, entrepreneurs, producers, researchers, corporations and investors will gather in Gothenburg on Nov. 24 for the inaugural AgConverge Conference. The producer-focused event will showcase how agriculture, technology and entrepreneurship intersect to shape the future of food, energy and water.
Hosted by Spur Ventures in the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Department of Biological Systems Engineering and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, in partnership with Bayer Crop Science and collaborators across the state, AgConverge will bring together industry leaders, startup founders, faculty and students for a day of conversation, networking and discovery, with the goal of supporting Nebraska producers.
The event will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Bayer Crop Science Water Utilization Center, 76268 NE-47, Gothenburg. Attendance is free for producers and students, though all attendees are asked to register in advance. Learn more and register.
A highlight of the day will be the formal launch of Spur Ventures, an initiative designed to support entrepreneurship and industry partnerships.
