What is the Industry Wargame?

Aimpoint Research’s Industry Wargame is a dynamic, interactive event built to explore the future of the agri-food value chain. The wargame brings together industry leaders and experts in a collaborative two-day exercise to think deeply about the future, test scenarios and explore likely outcomes across the agri-food value chain.

The first annual Industry Wargame in 2018 contributed to the landmark Farmer of the Future study, which revealed the psychology of the farmers who are most likely to lead the industry in 2040 and the internal and external factors impacting their success. The Wargame results predicted likely transformations and events that will impact the agri-food value chain through 2040.

The 2024 mission is tactical action. Futures thinking and scenario planning is as valuable when applied to near-term challenges and opportunities as it is when looking at the next twenty years. The agri-food industry is currently facing a spectrum of near-term challenges and leaders need to know what actions they can take tomorrow.

Players will explore real actions that could be taken over the next five years to address:

  • Near-term impacts of global competition from China and Brazil
  • Farm-ready technology and innovations
  • Managing farm risk and short-term volatility

Interested in Attending?

Each November, the Industry Wargame brings together leaders across each sector of the agri-food value chain. Overall, the event is designed for senior executives who have a strategic-level point-of-view. This is typically C-Suite Officers and Executive/Senior Vice Presidents. Most importantly, participants should be able to speak with authority about likely actions and reactions their sectors of the industry would take in response to certain dynamics.
