Agtech companies across Ontario looking to expand into international markets are encouraged to apply to [**EvokeAG 2026**](https://www.ledc.com/sites/default/files/EvokeAG%202026_Save%20the%20Date_stakeholders%20engagement.pdf), Australia’s premier agri-innovation event, taking place in **Melbourne**. The event has officially opened [**expressions of interest for its Scaleup Station**](https://www.evokeag.com/evokeag-2026/2026-scaleup-station/), a high-visibility platform designed to support export-ready agtech companies in showcasing their solutions, exploring trial opportunities, and building in-market partnerships. **Why Attend EvokeAG?** EvokeAG is a **whole-of-agriculture industry mobilisation event** focused on agtech innovation—from on-farm solutions to digital platforms and sustainability tools. Unlike food-focused events such as Fine Food Australia or Food Pro, EvokeAG zeroes in on technologies that support farm productivity, environmental performance, and operational efficiency. Participating companies will benefit from: - **Exposure to buyers, investors, and collaborators** through pitching sessions and exhibitor booths. - **Support from the State Government of Victoria**, which is coordinating a full suite of business development activities. - **Introductions to local ecosystem partners** who are ready to assist Canadian companies with trials and market entry. - **Potential access to Victorian grant funding** to support market establishment. Canadian companies that have attended past editions of EvokeAG report success in securing buyers, contacts, and trial partners—key steps in preparing for commercialization. See AgTech [**Value Proposition**](https://www.ledc.com/sites/default/files/AgTech%20-%20Value%20Proposition.pdf). The **Canadian Trade Commissioner Service**, in collaboration with the **Government of Victoria**, has developed strong ties with the Australian ecosystem and can support Ontario firms in navigating local opportunities. --- [**Apply Now – Deadline: Friday, August 15, 2025**](https://www.evokeag.com/evokeag-2026/2026-scaleup-station/) To express interest in the Scaleup Station at EvokeAG 2026 or learn more about participating: **Contact:** **Rudaralingum (Ven) Coopamootoo** Trade Commissioner, Agriculture, Food and Forestry High Commission of Canada to Australia [**Rudaralingum.Coopamootoo@international.gc.ca**](mailto:Rudaralingum.Coopamootoo@international.gc.ca)
