”Supporting agriculture innovations is an area of deep importance for HudsonAlpha,” said Alex Cate, director of entrepreneurship programs at HudsonAlpha. “From mapping plant genomes and developing the next workforce of plant scientists, to supporting startups moving agriculture discoveries to market, HudsonAlpha is invested in the health of our agriculture economy.” The accelerator will conclude on Nov. 16, with an event showcasing each of the five startups. Founders will have the opportunity to pitch their companies to investors, community partners and the public.
