ICTforAg is a premier global event organised annually across several countries, bringing together an audience of global experts and enthusiasts committed to the development of digital solutions to address challenges in low-to middle-income countries. Since 2015, ICTforAg conferences have provided a platform for established and emerging leaders in digital agri-food systems to share their knowledge and perspectives and catalyse new partnerships. The ICTforAg+ India event is an India specific, complementary event to the global ICTforAg event (which was held this year from Nov 7-9, 2023). ICTforAg+ India, organized by Government of Telangana, CGIAR initiative on Digital Innovation, and The Agri Collaboratory is an inclusive opportunity for participants to engage with peers in the vibrant local digital ecosystem and connect with the global community focusing on the following themes: 1. Inspiration: This track will inspire the audience with real-world examples, showcasing both success and lessons-learned stories, highlighting the potential of digital technologies to drive positive changes in the agri-food sector.

Expectations from the collaborators: This track will explore innovative digital technology solutions that are available in agri food systems in the developing world, delving into cutting-edge research, technologies, and approaches that are scaling while overcoming adoption barriers.

Incentives: Collaboration between Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and startups presents a range of compelling incentives. FPOs can access broader markets and streamline operations, while startups offer innovative technologies, financial support, and data-driven insights. Together, they can boost efficiency, scale operations, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. This collaboration not only enhances FPOs' capabilities but also drives innovation and market competitiveness, benefiting the agricultural sector as a whole.
