Please read carefully! Yes, we offer a small-ish sum of cash, which is meant to cover your efforts and celebration with your team - should you win. However, your motiviation to pitch for the German AgTech Award should not be the cash! We provide you with an opportunity to show your product to a select crowd of decision makers from large to small agricultural players and investors you will not find anywhere else locked into a room with you. So we encourage you to make this one count!
