The Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute and Invest Nebraska released their first “Nebraska agtech startup ecosystem map” in 2021. Since then, more than 10 new agtech startups have been founded in Nebraska. At the same time, the broader innovation ecosystem has grown, contributing to the state’s economic development. Our new 2024 agtech innovation map looks at the evolving and expanding entrepreneurial landscape in Nebraska.
Multiple local, statewide, and regional organizations are actively involved in supporting startups within Nebraska’s broader entrepreneurial ecosystem. This includes community-building and mentoring groups, incubator and accelerator programs, and university-based programs. These entities provide startups with knowledge exchange, resource guidance, workspaces, and research, commercialization, and investment support. A variety of for-profit and nonprofit strategic partners provide capital, access to customers, distribution networks, as well as partnerships along the upstream and downstream value chains.
