About
Indian agriculture is increasingly driven by technology and the shift from mechanization to technology adoption has begun. The opportunity before India is to push the production frontier beyond just catering to rising domestic demand for food but expanding exports and investments beyond India.
To reiterate the need for moving on from mechanization to technology adoption and its contribution to the overall growth and productivity enhancement, CII-FACE is pleased to announce the Agri Technology and Mechanization Summit 2015.
The Summit will provide a platform for key business leaders, Government representatives, and Academia from India and beyond share their experience and views on the current status of technology adoption in India; what it has helped achieve thus far; and the key levers of change that can further strengthen these interventions and applications on ground.
Agri Entrepreneurs, Venture Financiers, Incubators and Experts will share their journey from ideation to action; their experience in developing technologies and taking it to the fields; and the important lessons that will allow others venturing into this space do better.
