VAIMEE selected as one of eight startups for the 2026 Dijon AgriFood Challenge

VAIMEE is one of eight startups selected for the 2026 Dijon AgriFood Challenge. On 17 November, VAIMEE will present Agorà in Dijon, a digital twin that helps growers decide when to irrigate and how much water to apply, even without in-field sensors.

VAIMEE is one of eight startups selected for the third edition of the Dijon AgriFood Challenge. On Tuesday, 17 November 2026, we’ll present Agorà, our digital twin for irrigation decision support, at the Pitch Contest in Dijon, France.

In our three-minute pitch, we’ll show how Agorà combines weather observations and forecasts, soil and crop data, and an agro-hydrological model to provide irrigation recommendations for the next three days. It helps growers decide when to irrigate and how much water to apply in each field, even where no sensors are installed.

The event will bring together AgriTech and FoodTech startups, investors, and agrifood professionals. After the pitches, attendees will have time to talk with the startups and continue the conversation at a networking reception.

The event is organised by Dijon Bourgogne Invest, AgrOnov, DECA-BFC, Le Village by CA Champagne Bourgogne, and Vitagora.

Tuesday, 17 November 2026, from 18:00 CET Le Village by CA, 16 Rue de l’Hôpital, 21000 Dijon, France
