Scaleup Street
The evokeAG. Scaleup Street (formerly Scaleup Station) is designed for high-growth agrifood tech and innovation companies that have moved beyond the startup phase and are ready to expand, export, and engage at scale.
This is not “just” an exhibition stand, it is a strategic opportunity to position your company alongside global leaders in innovation, gain visibility with investors, and create high-value partnerships that accelerate your commercial path.
With only 20 stands available, this curated showcase is available for scaleups who are:
- Delivering real commercial impact and traction
- Positioned to grow globally
- Offering game changing solutions for agriculture, food, fisheries, or forestry.
Whether you’re entering the Australian market or scaling internationally, Scaleup Street gives you the visibility, credibility, and connections to make it happen.
