Application Overview

Nebraska Ag Expo is the leader in showcasing ag innovation and empowering ag producers through technology and best-in-class solutions. See who participated in previous Innovation Hubs. 

This technology hub covers a vast area of LivestockMarket Pavilion in the Sandhills Global Event Center, highlighting the area with aisle carpet, white drapery, giant video wall, expanded lighting, and excellent exhibitor displays. Standard booth rates apply, which includes 6’ skirted table, 2 chairs, forklifting, and wireless internet. 

These new ideas and innovative products are either being incubated by entrepreneurs, newly released by start-ups, or recently rolled out by specialty and major manufacturers who are seeking a platform to collectively market their technology to growers and prospective stakeholders.

Over the past three seasons, the Nebraska Innovation Hub and Iowa Innovation Hubs have hosted the following leading robotic, precision ag, and autonomous companies: Aigen, AMOS, DJI, Ecorobotix, Garford, Grain Weevil, Hylio, Naio, PTx Trimble, Rogo Ag, Sabanto, Salin247, Stout Ag, Vermeer, and XAG.

        Who Should Apply

        The Innovation Hub is designed for entrepreneurs, ag startups, specialty companies, and established manufacturers introducing genuinely new agricultural products or technologies. Applicants should offer an original solution—not simply an update to an existing product—that helps producers improve efficiency, productivity, profitability, or sustainability. Prototypes are welcome, and companies may participate while maintaining a booth elsewhere at the Expo.

        Requirements

        Companies must fill out this application and meet the qualifications below to be considered to exhibit in the Innovation Hub.

        • Product must be new, not merely a revision or upgrade to an existing product.
        • Companies that have exhibited in the Innovation Hub in prior years must re-apply.
        • Companies can still maintain their existing booth at the Expo and also highlight their technology in this area.
        • If your product is too large to be displayed, a computer display of the product may be substituted for the actual product. Prototypes are allowed.
        • Booth location within the Innovation Hub will be chosen by Nebraska Ag Expo staff.
        • Companies chosen to exhibit in the Innovation Hub will be determined by Nebraska Ag Expo staff and exhibit committee members.
        • Don’t quite meet all of the qualifications? You can still exhibit at the Nebraska Ag Expo! Fill out a general booth application instead.

        For any questions regarding booth application or pricing, contact Andy Tank at 515.720.3437 or andyt@ineda.com.

        Selection Process

        Applications are reviewed by Nebraska Ag Expo staff and exhibit committee members. Products must be new—not simply revisions or upgrades—and prototypes are welcome. Returning Innovation Hub exhibitors must reapply each year. Selected companies receive booth placement within the Hub, determined by Expo staff. If a product is too large to display, a computer presentation may be substituted.
