(Red Deer, Alberta – September 25, 2023) The 39th Agri-Trade Equipment Expo is set to open at Westerner Park in Red Deer from November 8th to 10th, 2023. For three days explore the newest equipment, technology, and services in the agriculture industry—including the best in agricultural innovations.
Innovation serves as the life force propelling agriculture forward, enabling us to achieve greater efficiency while utilizing fewer resources. Agri-Trade provides a unique platform for agricultural producers to immerse themselves in this landscape firsthand. Each year, companies are invited to submit their groundbreaking ideas and advancements to the Ag Innovations program.
In 2023, we are thrilled to celebrate the program’s 15th anniversary, a testament to its enduring impact. We have witnessed hundreds of companies bring these remarkable innovations to light, showcasing the best of agricultural ingenuity. Among the countless entries, only the top five finalists have been selected, and they will vie for an impressive $20,000 grand prize. Utilizing a perfect pitch style format, each finalist will have 5 minutes to impress the committee overseeing the high-quality applications making the selection process. “We continue to encourage new applications to Agri-Trade,” says Craig Shaw, Ag Innovations Committee Chair. “We want to bring that innovation to the attendees at Agri-Trade.”
