Proven tech for canadian FARMERs. A clear path for innovators.
Farmers know farming best. That’s why AIVA partners with Canadian farmers to test and validate new agtech.
AIVA – the Agriculture Innovation, Validation, and Adoption Network – connects farmers, innovators and validation hubs to bring proven agtech solutions to market. Our national network derisks technology adoption and delivers tools to produce real results on Canadian farms.

The Opportunity
AIVA empowers Canadian farmers to confidently adopt technology that improves on-farm efficiency and profitability.
Canada’s ag innovation track record is impressive, but investments and pilots are fragmented, and many good ideas stall before reaching farms. Innovating agricultural productivity has the potential to raise farmers’ incomes by $30 billion over a decade (FCC, 2025), yet innovators lack access to real-world testing environments where they can refine products based on farmer feedback. This is a key step to developing technology to address farmers’ most pressing challenges.
AIVA is solving this issue with its farmer-centric model, which validates early-stage and market-ready technologies on Canadian farms, aligning farmers and innovators to help the best agtech rise faster.
