These were my opening words:
Welcome to the fourth #START #AgriTech program!
We’re here because we share one big mission — to solve global challenges in desert innovation, energy, climate, agriculture, and food.
Startups like you have the power to turn ideas into impact, and this program is where you get to live up to your full potential.”
The program will take place in St. George, Utah, and Las Vegas, Nevada, from May 10–15, 2026 — two destinations that perfectly combine innovation, energy, and opportunity.
A huge thank you to our incredible partners and speakers who make this journey possible:
- Dr. Michael Lacourse, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Utah Tech University
“New patents each year, and about a dozen or so businesses are forming out of our innovation center. Innovation and new business development are core to our university, and we couldn't be more pleased to be a part of this.”
- Matt Wunderli, Director, World Trade Center Utah (WTC Utah)
“Our vision is to be the crossroads of the world — a hub where innovation, trade, and investment converge. This collaboration is central to that vision, and we're really excited about it. Utah's economy is diverse, resilient, and forward-looking.”
- Or Haviv, Partner at Arieli Group & Head of Arieli Innovate
“They say you’ll never feel ready, because ready is not a feeling — it’s a decision. This program is made up of people who said, ‘We’re not sure we’re ready, but we’ve made the decision.’”
-Yariv Erez, CEO, Frontier RNG, and Avital Friedjung Yosef, VP of Research, Frontier RNG
Frontier RNG leads the program and truly understands how to transform agriculture into business.
