An international exploration full of business potential

From 7 to 11 July 2025, Orchard of the Future is organizing an inspiring journey to the United States. This trip is designed for tech companies that are active in or looking to grow within the fruit cultivation sector. With 15 to 20 participants, company visits, networking events and plenty of opportunities to connect, this trip offers concrete leads for collaboration and business development.

Discover the American fruit sector up close

The journey starts in Portland, Oregon, and continues through the fruit-producing region around Hood River before reaching Yakima Valley in Washington State. Along the way, we will visit leading growers, collectives and technology partners. These meetings offer room to present your solution, explore its potential relevance and discuss follow-up opportunities. The return flight will depart from Seattle. Travel days are 6, 12 and 13 July.

Limited spots available

A maximum of 20 spots are available for this trip. We warmly invite tech companies active in fruit cultivation to apply. In case of oversubscription, priority will be given to those previously involved in OOTF, NXTGEN Hightech or The Next Fruit 4.0. New to the network but see a strong fit with your technology or ambitions? Be sure to let us know.

For tech companies looking to scale internationally

This trip is more than an introduction. It’s an opportunity to position your solution in a market actively seeking innovation. Orchard of the Future connects you with relevant players, supports validation and creates space to scale your technology. Together we accelerate the path from development to application — and unlock new international business opportunities.
