VGD was present in Aix-en-Provence for the international event Emerging Valley which gathered more than 1350 participants representing 45 countries.
The program included numerous business meetings around the presence of nearly 140 startups, 40 incubators and dozens of investors, exchanges and reflections on the future of innovation, the rapprochement of ecosystems between Europe, Africa and the Mediterranean, exclusive announcements on the financing of African companies, etc…not to mention the joy and a touch of madness that made this 3rd edition particularly inspiring and successful with a closing evening at the Velodrome Stadium with the Olympique de Marseille.
Vegetal Grow Development was represented by our CEO Sebastien Deprade, Agritech speaker. We are very proud to have been present at this edition around very enriching workshops and conferences.
