“The ecosystem here in Iowa has changed so much since I began my career in agricultural technology startups,” said Joel Harris, Co-Director of the Ag Startup Engine. “The work, however, is not done. ASE continues to welcome new entrepreneurs and engaged participants genuinely interested in assisting the next generation of companies in the industry. The goal with Ag Startup Engine from the very beginning was to address gaps between agricultural technology ideation and commercialization here in Iowa. We look forward to continuing to play our role in cementing the Iowa State University Research Park as the place to be in the industry.”
