Why START AgriTech?

This international partnership brings the world of innovation, investment, and business development to the stage within the AgriTech vertical for Southern Utah and Nevada. Not typically known for large commercial agriculture here in the heart of the Mojave Desert, the partnership highlights how innovation can bring life sustaining resources to even the least likely neighborhoods.

Together, we provide comprehensive support to groundbreaking AgriTech entrepreneurs.
