EvokeAG is Asia Pacific’s premier agrifood innovation event, held annually in Australia. It brings together global leaders in agriculture, technology, investment, and policy to explore cutting-edge solutions for the future of farming and food systems. It offers Canadian AgTech companies 1) a high-visibility platform for scaleups via participation in the Scaleup Station, 2) market entry support by the Victoria government, 3) support by the Trade Commissioner Service to navigate local opportunities, and 4) a proven track record by Canadian AgTech companies who have participated in the past.
The 2026 theme "Invest. Innovate. Impact." connects founders to funders, and the most critical link in the agrifood innovation chain: the adopters - producers, processors, and supply chain partners who translate innovation into action.
While Melbourne serves as our host city and gateway, the Australian Landing Pad initiative supports international delegates to land at evokeAG and explore truly Australian opportunities that extend far beyond any single state and aims to create pathways for nationwide market entry and collaboration. The "Landing Pad” funds participation at EvokeAG for over 2 weeks in Australia, including market entry and expansion support for international AgTech startups. The Landing Pad invites ten international startups to immerse themselves in the dynamic Australian market. Participants gain valuable business insights, forge connections with key stakeholders, receive tailored market access support, and explore Australia’s diverse landscapes as a global test bed for agrifood technologies.
The call ends on October 24. The Trade Commissioner Service will support the applications of Canadian clients. Please contact Mark Goldfield for additional details.
