Hello, my name is maxence Guillaumot
As a son, grandson and great-grandson of farmers, I have been immersed in the agricultural sector since I was a child. I spent most of my time on the family farm learning how to cultivate, how to repair, how to manage a farm... From my origins came a passion for agriculture, a passion around which I decided to build my life.
Technology has always attracted me. To better understand it, I did engineering studies that led me to design agricultural machinery. But concerned that modern agriculture had to evolve to become better & more sustainable, I have looked for alternatives. This quest for novelty led me to work in agricultural robotics where I met many growers and discovered new agricultural branches around the world.
It is thanks to the richness of these experiences that AgTech Market is born and will help the companies and growers to build the agriculture of tomorrow.
My vision of the agricultural world
Spoken Languages
Climate change, depletion of fossil resources, but also environmental and health issues require a change in the current model. The agricultural world is not evolving as fast as the issues it faces. We must change our production methods if we want to keep feeding the world, while protecting it. It is because I am convinced that innovation is the key to make agriculture more efficient and more sustainable, that I want to help Agtech companies change the agricultural world.

From Agricultural origins.
To help growers, you have to start by understanding them. Based in the Champagne region, I grew up and drove my first tractors within the family. By evolving in this world, I learned to understand it and respect it. I dedicate this field knowledge to help companies and growers develop the new technologies that will improve tomorrow's agriculture.
Develop a product vision.
Save time and money by anticipating market and customer needs. With a mechanical engineering degree and 3 years of experience in product development within CLAAS, I know the challenges of design and industrialization of agricultural machinery. Having technical product feedback is essential to keep a product development in line with the market.
Exploit market opportunities.
Save time and avoid costly mistakes. Working with Naïo Technologies was a great opportunity. I have worked in other agricultural sectors, such as vegetables growing and vinegrowing. I worked on two launch missions, in Spain and in California, which means I have experience in identifying and analysing markets opportunities and anticipate risks.
evolving in an international environment.
Business is above all, a human relationship, get to know your customers and your environment. After two years of my life spent in five countries; France, Finland, Germany, Spain and USA, I learned to observe cultural differences. Developing knowledge of local codes, customs and behaviors help to analyze the environment and adapt faster.
Birth of the project.
Helping your technologies change the agricultural world faster. Due to its complexity, agriculture is not evolving as quickly as it should to meet new challenges. In parallel we have many technological companies that develop solutions to meet these challenges. The objective of AgTech Market is to bridge the gap between these two worlds so that new technologies can help farmers more quickly.
