More Information on the AgXis Program

The AgXis Program is a technology adaptation and maturation program dedicated to transforming the future of agriculture in Quebec. This innovative program aims to identify, attract, and adapt the most promising agricultural technologies to address the labor and operational efficiency challenges faced by Quebec producers.

As part of this innovative program, Zone Agtech will identify, in collaboration with associations and partner actors, 25 companies willing to develop Quebec's horticultural sector by accelerating the maturation and/or adaptation of their technology to the needs of local producers.

Throughout their journey, the selected companies will benefit from co-development sessions with horticultural producers, scientific and technological advice from our partner research and technology transfer centers, strategic coaching for adapting their business model if necessary, and sites for testing and demonstrating their technology. At the end of the program, companies will be invited to a commercial showcase co-organized with partner horticultural associations, and 4 companies will have the opportunity to participate in performance evaluations that will also lead to the creation of informational tools dedicated to producers.

Attention! This program is intensive. The 25 companies will receive support valued at nearly $300,000. They will be pre-selected based on their investment capacity, willingness to collaborate with Quebec's horticultural sector, and the technological maturity of their solution. They will then be chosen by the steering committee of the concerned sector, consisting of horticultural producers, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Quebec, Zone Agtech, the Quebec Horticultural Innovation Network, and the affiliated partner association.
