Indoor AgTech Summit Will Focus on the Future of Controlled-Environment Agriculture
June 1, 2022 
After two years of virtual meetings, the Indoor AgTech Innovation Summit is returning to Brooklyn, NY, on June 23-24, gathering the world’s leading growers, retailers, investors, seed companies, and technology providers to meet, network, and cultivate new commercial partnerships.
As the controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) industry matures, what is needed from a political, financial, and technological standpoint for indoor growing to be seen as a reliable and sustainable way of feeding the nation? How are well-funded growers applying their investment to scale up their operations? What are the next frontier crops beyond leafy greens? What new technologies are available to optimize growing environments and drive operational efficiencies?
Indoor AgTech will highlight these critical issues with thought leaders from every part of the value chain. Attendees can also experience a plethora of innovation first-hand, from sampling delicious indoor grown produce, to discovering disruptive technologies and visiting one of New York’s newest urban farms. Through pre-arranged 1-1 meetings, networking events, roundtable discussions, and corridor-connections, this is a summit where you can catch up with industry colleagues and forge the partnerships that will shape your business in 2022.
All sessions will be livestreamed, opening up the summit to a bigger global network than ever before.
Key themes to be addressed include:
- Regenerating Cities: Feeding Urban Populations Using Fewer Resources
- Tackling Labor Shortages: Accelerating the Adoption of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Automation
- Reducing Costs and Energy Usage: Identifying More Efficient Systems and Low Energy Inputs
- Plant Science and Seed Optimization: Developing Consumer-Driven and Healthier Traits
