What’s it about?

NXT HeroFestival 2026 is a one-day event bringing together innovators in the Food & Flower industry. This year’s theme is Innovation in Action, because it’s not the lack of technology that holds us back; it’s how we bring people along, connect startups and growers. The event program consists of two parts.

Part 1 – Interactive Sessions

Participants will work on crucial industry challenges: energy, labor, plant health, data, business models, and more.

Part 2 – Inspiring Afternoon Program

With a keynote by Danny (Desmond) Makkelie, startup pitches, insights from the interactive sessions, and live tech demos, followed by a networking reception.
