French Tech Startups Showcased at World Agritech Innovation Summit
As part of The French Tech Mission, a French government administration whose objective is supporting the structuring and growth of the French startup ecosystem, six innovative French AgTech and FoodTech startups will be exhibiting at the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit this March. These startups present the best France has to offer in AgTech, having been selected after a rigorous application process that examined their solutions in detail.
With products ranging from comestibles (microalgae ingredients, insect-based animal nutrition and plant-based meat alternatives), to biologics and bio-based performance solutions (resilient agricultural biologicals) as well as a robust offering of support services (such as SaaS for post-harvest processes and weather monitoring services) the delegation touches on key themes for the agriculture and food production sector, promising to revolutionize the future of agriculture.

Alternative proteins and ingredients will also be highlighted with a panel presentation on the startup stage on Thursday, March 21 at 4:05 p.m. featuring Algama and Umiami.

Investing in the future of food: France 2030 and French Tech programs by The French Tech Mission
The six participating startups are laureates of the France 2030 development plan, a state-funded initiative that aims to transform sectors of excellence in the French economy, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, digital, green industry, biotechnology, culture and healthcare via an investment of 30 billion Euros (33 billion USD) over 5 years. Two billion euros (2.2 billion USD) of the France 2030 plan are specifically designated for investments in more transparent, traceable, and sustainable food production. The startups have been selected for their distinct innovation in this sector, which will help the French and European economy transition to a greener and cleaner future. France is the EU leader in AgTech and FoodTech innovation raising more than 1.3 illion euros (1.4 billion USD)or startups in 2022*.
Five out of six startups are part of French Tech 2030, a unique program by the French Tech Mission which brings together government’s initiatives to support emerging startups that respond to major societal challenges in line with the strategic priorities of the France 2030 plan.
One startup from the delegation, Innovafeed, belongs to French Tech Next40/120; a government program also powered by the French Tech Mission, dedicated to supporting the 120 most successful French startups with the potential to become world-class leaders.
“The World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit is the perfect event to create meaningful connections with top leaders from the agri-food industry and forge the right partnerships to bring solutions to market. AgTech is a strategic sector and we are proud to bring such a diverse and pioneering delegation of startups which develop groundbreaking innovations. France, thanks to our startups, is at the forefront of the green transition,” says Clara Chappaz, representative for The French Tech Mission.
