RootCamp is proud to be partnering once again with Agritechnica, a world-leading trade fair focusing on technological advancements in agriculture. This event, held from the 9th to the 15th of November 2025 in Hannover, is a key gathering for the industry, setting the stage for innovations that drive the future of sustainable agriculture and technological solutions.
In collaboration with Agritechnica, we will bring to life the event format called "RapidFire Startup Pitches", featuring intense 120-second presentations from 41 startups. These startups were carefully grouped into six clusters to maximise the impact of their ideas. To leverage the engagement of the participants, the entire audience is able to vote for the best startup after each group. The best startup of each cluster joins the finals - with a reward of €5000 in total, spread over the three most promising startups by audience voting. 1st Place: €2500; 2nd Place: €1500; 3rd Place: €1000; Thanks to our partner Rentenbank and DLG for sponsoring the awards!
