VENUE
Elephant Hills Hotel
Victoria Falls,

Advancing real impact through connected
systems for sustainable agriculture.

For the first time, Agile Data and Digital Public Infrastructure will come together in one place — connecting innovators, policymakers, businesses, researchers, and practitioners who are shaping the future of farmer-centred systems. The Summit will be an immersive experience of active participation for everyone working to make data and digital infrastructure truly work for farmers — and for the systems that sustain them.

Across four days, we will break silos, unite diverse communities, and co-design pathways that link data collection, digital systems, and enabling policy. Together, we will identify and advance practical, inclusive solutions that create real, lasting impact for farmers and strengthen sustainable systems transformation long after the Summit concludes.

Participation in the Agile Data & DPI Summit 2026 program is fee-waived with the Full Delegate Package, thanks to the generous support of our convening partners, the Gates Foundation and GIZ.
