For fem år siden i dag ble Inkubator Ås til Aggrator, med tydelig ambisjon om å styrke utviklingen av norske agrifoodtech- og miljøteknologi selskaper. Siden den gang har vi hatt gleden av å jobbe med ambisiøse gründere, banebrytende teknologier og engasjerte partnere som ønsker å bidra til å skape en renere, bedre verden.
Five milestones in five years
1. We have been the initiators of the BIT Innovation Center, in collaboration with ARD, NMBU and Ås Municipality. BIT has become an important meeting point for sustainable innovation and value creation in Ås.
2. We have become partners in the AgriFoodTech Norway collaboration, with Klosser, T:lab, NCE Heidner Biocluster and Nordic Edge. Together we are building a national agrifoodtech national team that we are working to become a new Norwegian export industry.
3. Last year we launched ESSE , the growth program for ambitious agrifoodtech and environmental technology companies. Last year's program received a brilliant response, with an NPS of over 60. This year we are building an expanded and even stronger program , led by renowned experts from the business community.
4. We have associated 13 specialist mentors and several business partners , who contribute valuable expertise, experience and networks to our entrepreneurs.
5. Our companies have raised a total of NOK 760 million in private capital, clear evidence that investors have faith in the solutions developed in our network. The agtech market is expected to grow at an annual growth rate of 15% until 2032 , and we are working to ensure that this leads to increased value creation in Norway.
Thank you to everyone who has been with us on this journey! We look forward to the next five years – and to continuing to create value for a cleaner, better world.
