AgriTech Nordic 2026
AgriTech Nordic is the biggest gathering of agrifoodtech startups in the Nordics and this year it takes place on one of Europe's leading agricultural test arenas.
Mære Agricultural College isn't a conference venue. It's a working farm that has been developing and testing agricultural technology for decades. When we say you'll see innovation here, we mean it literally! In the barn, in the greenhouse and in the field.
Participating companies — TechSafari 2026

Programme 13 October
11:00 — Welcome to Mære
We open at one of Norway's most important arenas for agricultural research and development. A short welcome, then straight into the conversation.
11:15 — Nordic AgriFoodTech in 2026
Where does the sector actually stand, and does anyone outside the Nordics care? Leading voices from the Nordics are joined by John Carrigan, Investment Director at Yield Lab Europe, one of the few European funds that invests exclusively in agrifoodtech. Expect a straight conversation about what is working, where the money is going, and what it takes for a Nordic company to be fundable.
12:00 — Break and find your TechSafari
12:30 — TechSafari (choose your track)
Four tracks, all running simultaneously across Mære's production environments. You don't watch just hear presentations about innovation, but walk through it.
Energy on the farm (main hall)
— Two hours on the farm's energy system, from the grid outside to the economics of your own biogas plant. Solli Energi on building a smart and robust energy system, Tensio on what to expect at the far end of the grid, and three farm biogas plants compared on what actually makes them pay.
Hosted by our good friends at Agritech ClusterMethane, animal welfare & smart cattle farming (live barn)
A roundtable in the barn, taking a closer look at different solutions for cutting methane and improving animal welfare. Ambient Carbon, BoviWalk and Orkel BioX present their solutions alongside Felleskjøpet Agri, Nortura, Nord University, Völur and hosted by Mære Agricultural College.The Nordic innovation walk (greenhouse, 12:30–13:15)
— A curated walk-through with 20 Nordic companies. Robotics, sensors, drones, alternative inputs. Founders present their technology on the spot, hosted By T:lab and GKMS.Greenhouse, tunnel & open-field technology
(greenhouse, 13:15–14:30)

14:30 — Coffee break
14:45 — Vitaliy Skotsyk & the contamination of Ukrainian farmland
Vitaliy leads IGSM and CE-Lab in Ukraine. He will address one of Europe's most urgent and underreported crises, what war does to agricultural land, and what it takes to grow food again afterwards. He is joined by a Erik Joner from Nibio, John Salve Sigridnes from Containertech/AMV and Vegard Forbord from Biodrone who together are working on decontamination, remediation and landmine detection in Ukraine
