Agriventures is a Finalist at the Forbes Innovation Awards 2025
We are proud to announce that Agriventures has been selected as a finalist in the “Social Innovation” category at the prestigious Forbes Innovation Awards 2025!
This nomination recognizes our mission to drive meaningful change through innovation — not only by improving efficiency but by addressing significant social and environmental challenges.
For several weeks, the jury of the Forbes Innovation Awards 2025 evaluated companies and individuals applying across six categories. The finalists include both large enterprises and smaller organizations that have demonstrated leadership, creativity, and the courage to experiment in their fields.
For the first time, the Forbes Innovation Awards introduced two new categories — “Green Innovation” and “AI Transformation” — reflecting the rise of artificial intelligence and the growing focus on sustainability and social responsibility.

Being recognized among the top innovators in Bulgaria affirms our commitment to fostering systemic change in how innovation is created, financed, and implemented — especially in sectors that are key to the planet’s sustainability.
The winners of the Forbes Innovation Awards 2025 will be announced on November 13 during the Forbes Innovation Forum & Awards 2025, which will take place at Sofia Tech Park — one of Bulgaria’s most inspiring events celebrating innovation and visionary leadership.
Stay tuned for the results, and thank you to everyone who supports our mission to make innovation in agriculture and food a force for good!
