Evonik has entered a technological cooperation agreement with the AgTech Garage innovation center in the Piracicaba Technology Park, in the state of Sao Paolo. The new partnership will promote Evonik's agribusiness capabilities and help to leverage its innovation in the area through better connections to the regional agribusiness ecosystem.

“We are committed to developing innovative and sustainable solutions for the South American agricultural market. This partnership with AgTech Garage will help us to strongly connect with large companies and startups to promote and develop new technologies for the agricultural industry through open innovation”, said Diego Abreu, Global Marketing Head of Evonik Interface & Performance's agricultural market segment.

AgTech Garage is one of the world’s main innovation hubs specializing in agrobusiness, promoting initiatives that connects startups, producers, investors, academics, scientists, and other stakeholders to develop technological solutions that contribute to a more sustainable, competitive, and socially inclusive agribusiness across the entire value chain. With established partnerships and the support of leading companies, AgTech Garage’s network provides an innovation dynamic: open, connected, collaborative and agile.

“The proximity to AgTech Garage’s network of partners enables us to exchange experiences and have discussions that contribute to driving our innovation culture at Evonik. This is the concept of open innovation, where the exchange of information in this type of environment is transformed into knowledge and innovation”, said Abreu.
