Growth Train Accelerator's Christiane Paaske-Sørensen on fostering AgTech innovation in rural Denmark
How are Denmark's rural areas spurring AgTech innovation? Christiane is the head of the Growth Train Accelerator program on Lolland-Falster. This area of Denmark is fascinating not only because it has some of the richest soil in the country, but also because its considered “udkantsdanmark” or outer Denmark - a rural region, which has been struggling to attract growth in competition with big cities. Despite this, Growth Train's 7-week accelerator program has succeeded in attracting international participants. The program focuses on food processing and solutions that meet the local agricultural community's needs. Christiane provides insight into the region's AgTech ecosystem as well as describes the ins & outs of the accelerator program.
