Are you working on technological solutions for climate-resilient agriculture? And are you interested in collaborating with Brazilian partners on innovation and product development? Then this innovation mission on climate adaptation in agriculture in Brazil, taking place from 29 September to 3 October 2025, could be a great opportunity for you.
Who should join?
This mission is intended for Dutch AgTech companies, research institutes and knowledge institutions involved in:
- sensor technology
- imaging solutions (e.g. spectral cameras and satellite data)
- big data and AI
- farm management software
- seed breeding
- irrigation and drainage
- precision spraying
- drone technology
- living labs and climate adaptation
Are you working with data collection, data processing, or precision agriculture and looking to explore R&D collaboration with Brazilian partners? Then this mission offers valuable opportunities.
Why participate?
This mission offers participants the chance to:
- gain insight into concrete business and innovation opportunities in the Brazilian AgTech sector
- connect with potential partners, companies, knowledge institutions and government organisations
- visit leading AgTech companies and research institutions in Brazil
- benefit from matchmaking with relevant Brazilian stakeholders
- take part in expert-led seminars focused on AgTech collaboration
Draft programme
The mission will start in São Paulo, the heart of agricultural innovation in Brazil. Visits are planned to cities including Campinas and Piracicaba—home to major agricultural research centres and vibrant start-up ecosystems.
In the second half of the week, the group will travel to another region (to be selected), likely involving a domestic flight. The programme there will include visits to companies and research institutions, with a focus on how data-driven technologies are applied in practice.
Costs and conditions
Participation fee: €250 per person (excluding VAT)
Included:
- participation in the collective programme
- local transportation during programme activities
- lunches and dinners (as listed in the programme)
Not included:
- travel and accommodation expenses (international and domestic flights, hotels)

The mission is designed for a small group. In principle, one participant per organisation may take part. A second participant may be allowed, depending on the number of registrations. After registering, a selection process will take place. Final confirmation of participation will be sent after registration closes.
How to register
You can register via the online registration form of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) no later than 15 May 2025.
