Join us as we take a closer look at how rural innovation can help with community growth, skills retention an sustainability with our AgriTech programme.
Here we will showcase innovations that have been created for, or can be applied to rural communities and the associated agricultural industry.
Our vision is to support the growth of technologies and skills across all industry sectors within the UK.
Delving deep into agriculture and the food supply chain, we aim to help it become the most digitally-savvy works force globally, and we do this through research, events, collaboration and projects that help the entire food supply chain, from farmer to retailer, to understand how technology can support and accelerate their business.
The theme for this event focuses on how collaborative the support network and structure is for UK Agri-Food startups, and those in other industries with technological advancements that can help transform the sector.
We want to showcase how far the support for the sustainability of the sector has come in the last 12 months and how the journey to net-zero continues.
