Good ideas are not enough in agriculture. They have to work in the real world.

AgTech Connect brings together producers, operators, investors, and industry leaders to have the kinds of conversations that actually move things forward.

This is where ideas get challenged, refined, and put into context. www.agtechconnect.co

In May, The Combine hosted international fellows through the U.S. Department of State Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI). The fellows engaged in an immersive Nebraska ag experience through visiting a farm, a feedlot, and University of Nebraska facilities, plus meeting with The Combine's startup ecosystem partners. The fellows rounded out their experience by pitching their businesses to The Combine's partners. We are happy to participate in a global exchange and learn about ag from our international partners.

Building an agtech company is one thing. Getting traction is another.

At AgTech Connect, startups connect with founders, investors, producers, and industry leaders who understand what it takes to build in agriculture.

This year, we’re featuring startup pitches from The Combine and beyond.

Connecting founders with investors, producers, and industry leaders is what defines the Midwest’s flagship agtech conference.

Great science does not automatically become a great company.

There is a gap between knowing something works and knowing how to build around it.

For MTE Biotech, that gap could have taken years to navigate.

In this clip, CEO Sean Carr shares how working with The Combine helped accelerate that process by bringing the business and industry perspective needed to move forward faster.

Because sometimes what changes a company’s trajectory is not the idea.
It is having the right people helping you build it.

For a long time, “good enough” has been exactly that.

Good enough yields.
Good enough processes.
Good enough outcomes.

But over time, good enough starts to define the limit.

Even in the most optimized systems, something still gets left behind. Not because it lacks value, but because the tools being used were never designed to go further.

What if that is the real constraint?

What if the next breakthrough is not about pushing harder, but about using better tools?

In this full video, MTE Biotech CEO Sean Carr shares how that shift in thinking could change what is possible across biofuels and bioprocessing.

If you are trying to get something from a plant, you already know how difficult it is to get everything out of it.

Even the most advanced systems leave value behind.

That is not a failure of process. It is a limitation of the tools being used.

The next phase of innovation will not come from working harder within those limits. It will come from changing what those limits are.

That is where companies like MTE Biotech are focused, building solutions in places like Nebraska where the work stays grounded in real-world conditions.
