In 2023, John Deere will be collaborating with eight companies as part of its Startup Collaborator program.

The program has now been in operation for five years and Deere says it aids in the development of precision technology in its agricultural and construction equipment.

“This year’s group shows the importance of connecting with the startup community across a broad range of applications and technologies,” said Julian Sanchez, director of emerging technology at John Deere. These connections help John Deere better understand opportunities to advance precision technology in agriculture and construction.”
