Gig East Meetup: Leveraging Specialty Crops and Ag Technology for ENC’s Farmers: 5 PM-7 PM
To wrap up Exchange Day, join us for our first Gig East Meetup of 2026, “Leveraging Specialty Crops and Ag Technology for ENC’s Farmers.”
During this meetup, RIoT will spotlight findings from their newly-published report “The Feasibility of Leveraging Specialty Crops and Agricultural Technology for the Small and Midsize Farmer in Eastern North Carolina.” The team will break down the results, share actionable insights, and discuss how technology and specialty crops can transform opportunities for small and midsize farmers. And how growers and tech developers alike can test out new methods and technology at the Gig East Source— right here in Wilson.
Whether you’re passionate about AgTech, entrepreneurship, or building a stronger local economy, this event is your chance to connect, learn, and collaborate on shaping the next wave of agricultural innovation.
