AgriTech innovation awards
Celebrating those at the forefront of AgriTech
Leonardo da Vinci sketched irrigation canals and studied how plants grow, convinced that close observation of nature could improve how we live. The DaVinci Awards® recognize the innovators carrying that curiosity forward – the individuals, research teams, and organizations transforming how food is grown, raised, harvested, and brought to market to secure and grow our global food supply.
Who should enter
how have you excelled?
Modern agriculture faces a delicate balancing act. Producers must increase yields, improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, restore soil health, respond to changing regulations, and build resilience against unpredictable climate conditions – all while meeting the food demands of a growing global population.
These pressures create extraordinary opportunities for innovation.
Leaders in this space combine engineering, scientific research, software development, product design, data analytics, and operational expertise to solve increasingly complex problems, from the field and the barn to the packing house.
The DaVinci Awards® celebrate those achievements. If your innovation helps farmers, growers, ranchers, or producers – or the businesses that preserve and deliver their harvest – operate more efficiently, more sustainably, or more intelligently, this is your moment for recognition.
Where we see innovation
Areas of Interest
The DaVinci Awards recognizes outstanding feats of human ingenuity, and product innovation. Entries are welcomed from individuals, teams, startups, or established enterprises based anywhere in the world. Areas of interest include, but are certainly not limited to:
Impress the judges
Ingenuity of Approach
We look at the creative vision, scientific excellence, or operational mastery behind your solution. How have you harnessed multiple fields – such as software, advanced mechanics, or molecular biology – to solve a problem that traditional methods could not fix? We reward the original thinking that challenges conventional practices.
Impress the judges
The Problem Solved
An award-caliber nomination must demonstrate a measurable impact on a core challenge within agriculture or food production. Prove how your work actively moves the needle – increasing yields, reducing environmental or ecological impact, reducing waste, achieves compliance with regulations, or limits the impact of extreme weather or labor shortages.
Impress the judges
Scalability & Legacy
Feats of human endeavor are measured by their real-world viability. We look for solutions designed to survive beyond the laboratory or the controlled pilot phase. Your entry should showcase how your methodology or technology is built to withstand the mud, dust, economics, and logistics of commercial agriculture, leaving a lasting footprint on the global food system.
