Irish-owned agritech companies, researchers and academia are truly shaping the sector and have firmly established a strong reputation for being pioneers in their field, and global business leaders are increasingly looking to them to address evolving market needs.
The Irish agritech sector employs more than 4,700 people here, and Enterprise Ireland supports approximately 130 companies who are working across a number of areas, including developing smart farming solutions, farm equipment, livestock handling and housing, crop cultivation and protection, and animal health and nutrition.
These Irish-owned companies generated sales of almost €1.6bn in 2023, with exports accounting for €1bn.
And it is no surprise that international demand for Irish agritech innovation continues to be at an all-time high as, in addition to our established reputation for being a hub for innovation, Ireland has a rich and strong agricultural heritage.
