Saskatchewan is central to the Canadian prairies and provides a rich ecosystem for agtech companies to succeed. As Canada’s largest pulse producer and home to 40 per cent of Canada’s cultivated farmland, Saskatchewan stands as a world-class agtech hub. The province boasts a diverse community of startups and a supportive government that fosters innovation through funding, programs and unique infrastructure available nowhere else in Canada. Saskatchewan’s agtech sector is experiencing rapid growth, driven by homegrown companies advancing smart farm equipment, the agri-food supply chain, digital agriculture spaces and more. Saskatchewan is quickly establishing itself as a global leader in agtech innovation and a prime destination for investment opportunities.

Innovation Saskatchewan supports the province’s research community and technology sector through the operation of two research and technology parks and the administration of research and development funding programs. Funding and incentive programs like the Agtech Growth Fund and Saskatchewan Technology Startup Incentive (the most aggressive investment tax credit program in Canada) aim to accelerate the commercialization of game-changing technological innovations in the agricultural sector and help our agtech startups scale. The research and technology parks are collaborative communities that help emerging and established technology companies thrive through flexible space and supportive partnerships. This all serves Innovation Saskatchewan’s goal of creating economic growth and diversity through the province’s research community and technology sector.
