AgVenture Lab

AgVenture Lab operates as an innovation hub, cultivating new businesses and services within the food, agriculture, and lifestyle sectors. It supports startups and collaborates with partner companies, universities, and public administrations. The lab integrates diverse expertise and technologies to develop practical solutions for critical societal challenges in agriculture and daily living.

Founded in 2019, AgVenture Lab originated from a collective effort by eight national federations of the JA Group in Japan. The core insight driving its establishment was a clear recognition of social challenges within food systems, agricultural practices, and local communities. This initiative leverages agricultural cooperative resources to catalyze innovation and progress.

AgVenture Lab serves startups and stakeholders dedicated to innovation. Its long-term vision is to create a sustainable cycle where technology and novel ideas significantly enhance societal well-being, particularly in food security, advanced farming, and improved regional living. The Lab continuously works to cultivate environments for impactful innovations.
