ToasterLAB, the acceleration program run by Vitagora, announces the launch of its new promotion focused on digital technology for agroecology. Three start-ups have been selected for their technological innovations and will begin their acceleration program in France on Monday, November 20, 2023.

Digital technology in agroecology: a crucial lever in the transformation of the agri-food industry

The activities of ToasterLAB's new recruits, integrating digital innovations into agroecology, are revolutionizing the food industry by optimizing agricultural practices, monitoring crops, and enhancing product transparency. Their solutions reduce the environmental footprint, promote sustainable agriculture, and improve food traceability, thereby addressing the growing need for responsible and efficient food production.

The launch of this group of start-ups' acceleration program begins on Monday, November 20, in France, bringing together entrepreneurs, partners, mentors, and experts. Directly immersed in the heart of the matter, the start-ups in this program will tackle commercial and regulatory issues that will enable them to access markets in France and Europe.

The highlight of this experience will be the opportunity for these start-ups to present their innovations at Vita'Connect 2024, Vitagora's major convention, scheduled for April 4, 2024, at the Palais des Congrès in Dijon. This event will bring together the ecosystem of professionals in agri-food innovation from farm to fork, providing an ideal platform to showcase their expertise and advances in the field.
