The Combine is a statewide initiative overseen by Invest Nebraska supporting high growth entrepreneurs in food and agriculture. The program consists of go-to-market support through mentorship and a capital readiness program, networking events, a group of partnering producers across the state, as well as incubation space on Nebraska Innovation Campus. In 2020 (The Combine’s first year) The Combine hosted the inaugural OnRamp Agriculture Conference with over 400 attendees joining in via Zoom, and it accepted six Ag-Tech companies into the program.
