Additionally, the event featured an entrepreneurship contest, food company presentations, and culinary demonstrations, providing each participant with a comprehensive view of opportunities and trends within the sector.

The event took a multisectoral approach, gathering key players from the industry, academia, and micro and small food entrepreneurs. It also featured the participation of international organizations, chambers of commerce, and other strategic partners, with special attention given to the Zamorano community.

Expo AGI 2024 was an industrial, technical-scientific, and academic demonstration, committed to showcasing how the proposals of Zamorano's food agroindustry students contribute to the region, focusing on the sustainability, food safety, and nutritional security of food systems.
