If you follow the News Folha, you should already know what a fintech. However, if you're out of touch with the subject, we'll quickly explain it to you. In general terms, a fintech is an institution that streamlines financial services through technology. Therefore, making transactions such as loans and payments is much easier and faster than in traditional banks. However, today's agenda is a different type of institution: the agtech.
On the other hand, agtech is an institution that combines technology with agribusiness. At first it may be difficult to understand how technology makes such a difference in the agribusiness scenario if it is not through machinery. However, when you think about software, mobile applications, nanosatellites, drones and artificial intelligence, visualizing the union between the two becomes much easier. However, the best of all is that, apparently, Brazil is one of the most promising scenarios for those who want to invest in this type of institution!

News: the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) will invest in the agtech sector in 2020!
On March 5, 2020, Embrapa will bring together 20 companies in the sector agtech in order to implement an innovation program in the field. This is “Bridges for Innovation”, which aims to connect the invited companies with potential customers. There, institutions will have the opportunity to show how their services can add value to the agribusiness sector. This is in addition to bringing profit to investors, of course.
In this context, it is worth highlighting the importance of professionals increasingly specializing in technology. The emergence of more and more companies that combine technology with different areas is not only good for those who want to invest, but for those who want a job. Therefore, being a specialist can bring 21st century professionals more stability for the job they already have. On the other hand, it can help those who are just entering the job market to get a job (or reintegration).
