AGreen Startup: entrepreneurship and the emergence of tomorrow's good ideas - Presentation by Nicolas DORISON, innovation officer at the Pays de la Loire Chamber of Agriculture.

A marathon of agricultural innovations

The aim of AGreen Startup is to mobilize collective intelligence in support of agriculture and innovation. Based on the "start-up weekends" model, teams made up of a project leader and team members from all backgrounds (agri, agro, management, design, communication, marketing, engineering, etc.) meet over 2 days to work on their entrepreneurial project with the support of coaches and expert advice.

Do you have an idea for a project or innovation that's been sitting on the shelf for a while, due to a lack of time or resources? Would you like to develop a culture of innovation, collaboration, agility and intergeneration within your company?

AGreen Startup is the perfect opportunity to work in a fast-track environment and :

  • Designing/testing with collective intelligence in the agricultural sector.
  • Identify talent, source future collaborators and partners.
  • Mobilize resources at trade shows.
  • Gain visibility as an agile and innovative company.
  • Involve employees in turning your innovative ideas into reality.
