Every quarter our team reunite for Eiwa Business Review or EBR – a meeting that allow us to bring our team together to assess the previous quarter results and discuss our future goals and plans and strategize how we can deliver more value to our clients.
This quarter’s EBR was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina and it was composed by great presentations, leadership mentoring, feedbacks and much more.
Check out some of our best moments in pictures.
Eiwa was present at the event and was represented by Nicolas and Helena (both still available for connecting through the Rethink Events platform – live until July 29th).
These past two days were certainly an exciting new chapter for the Latin American AgTech world. We’ve had interesting meetings and shared insights with various players from all across the Agri-Tech ecosystem.
It’s been amazing to be back to an event in person, along with so many colleagues and companies at the World Agri-Tech South America Summit in Sao Paulo. It feels empowering and energizing, a good recharge for the second half of 2022. Many thanks to The Yield Lab, Glocal and Xperiment Ventures for their continued support. We could just feel throughout meetings and panels that Agriculture is coming into a new digital era!

“This ecosystem means a tremendous amount to me, to us, and I’m super thrilled that you are part of this ecosystem in a formal way”
