We want to make it easier for people across St. Louis agtech to share their work, grow their networks, and represent our region.
Have work worth sharing? The 39 North AgTech Travel Awards are here to help you get there.
The 39 North AgTech Travel Awards provide $500 travel reimbursements to individuals across the greater St. Louis agtech ecosystem who are presenting, speaking, exhibiting, or otherwise sharing their work at conferences and professional meetings.
Whether you're a student, researcher, technician, entrepreneur, educator, scientist, engineer, or business professional, we want to help more people from our region connect with new audiences, build their networks, advance professionally, and showcase the innovation happening across St. Louis.
Awards are open to individuals whose work contributes to agriculture, plant science, food systems, or the broader agtech ecosystem.
Recipients will also serve as ambassadors for the St. Louis agtech community by acknowledging 39 North in their presentation materials and sharing a short recap and photos from their experience so we can help amplify their work.
