Plenty of help. No clear path through it.
A free map of Canadian agtech.
Canada has built a lot of help for agtech companies. What we've heard is missing is a clear path through it.
TrellisAg is not another program. We're a not-for-profit, building a map of Canadian agtech, so each company can find the right help at the right time.
So far: more than 800 programs on file, 314 sorted onto the map. More than 500 organisations, from government to farm groups. And in the middle, the agtech companies: homegrown tech, built to solve real problems on Canadian farms.
Around them: 168 events and trade shows so far, where tech and farm come to meet. And the buyers: about 190,000 farms, plus the co-ops, dealers and processors around them, 124 named so far. They trial new tech, help improve it, and buy it once it pays.
AI finds each program and reads its rules. Then we validate and verify what it found. And we keep checking, so it stays current.
When a company comes to TrellisAg, they answer a few questions about where they're stuck. We'll give them pathway options: programs they can apply to, knowing they meet the requirements and are a good fit. Less time searching. More time building a better product. And not just the next program, but the one after that, and the one after that, until they find their fit with farms.
We sit between the programs, and point companies to you. Help us build the map.
TrellisAg is a Canadian not-for-profit. We're building a map of the programs, funders, events and buyers around agtech companies. It's free for companies to use, so each one can find the right help at the right time.
Technology built for farming: new products and services for farms, and for the businesses that supply them or handle what they grow, like co-ops, farm retailers, agronomists, equipment dealers, elevators, packers and primary processors. Consumer food brands, grocery and later processing sit outside this survey.
The companies TrellisAg is built for: from the first idea to scaling up. In money terms, from seed to Series B.
This is how we work, and it's under way: it covers part of the map so far, not every program yet. AI reads each program's own published pages, and every fact has to point to the exact words it came from. A second, separate check reviews each one, and a person rules on anything uncertain. Where we can't confirm something, we say "unknown" and never guess. Then we re-check, so it stays right.
If companies can apply to it, yes. If anything we show about your program is wrong or out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.
So far, the founder, plus contract work for a group that supports agtech companies. TrellisAg is a not-for-profit. No program pays to appear on the map, and companies use it free.
Not here. These questions ask for what you know, and nothing here asks you to buy. If we ever propose paid work to your organisation, we'll say so plainly.
The TrellisAg team reads every one. We share results as counts by type of organisation, with no names. We quote by role only, and we ask you first. If you speak an answer, your words show on screen so you can fix them before you send.
