Tech2Farm

For Alberta agri-food businesses developing new technologies, moving from pilot to real-world adoption can be one of the hardest steps. Tech2Farm was created to bridge that gap by helping Alberta-based agri-tech companies validate and commercialize their innovations through hands-on collaboration with established industry players. Delivered by Alberta Innovates, the program focuses on solving practical challenges in food production, resource efficiency, and sustainability by pairing local technology developers with global leaders that can help accelerate market readiness.

The program supports collaborative projects that test technologies in real farm or operational settings, often involving smart farms, testing facilities, or research partners. Funding is non-repayable and can reach up to roughly $500,000 per project, covering a significant portion of eligible costs while requiring partners to share in the investment. Beyond financial support, Tech2Farm places strong emphasis on strategic guidance, industry matching, and access to international expertise across markets such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the UK.

Tech2Farm is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized Alberta companies working in agriculture, agri-food, climate tech, or data-driven farm solutions that are ready to demonstrate commercial potential. With applications accepted on an ongoing basis, the program offers a compelling pathway for businesses looking to scale their technology and secure industry adoption.
