About Agri-TechE

Agri-TechE is an independent, not-for-profit membership organisation bringing together farmers, researchers, technologists, and entrepreneurs to stimulate innovation in agriculture and horticulture.

Founded over a decade ago, Agri-TechE has been at the forefront of agri-tech innovation, fostering connections that have shaped the industry’s future.

Our Mission

By connecting diverse expertise, we aim to create opportunities for collaboration that drive sustainable growth and resilience in the sector.

We work for our members. We work with farmers and growers to articulate the real-life problems they face. We consolidate funding streams and opportunities and facilitate connections to accelerate the application of the most cutting-edge research and tech developments. Through our events and communications, we raise the profile of our industry and our members.

What sets us apart

  • Independence and integrity: we operate independently, without government funding, ensuring our focus remains solely on the needs and interests of our members.
  • Longevity and expertise: With over ten years of expertise and an award-winning legacy in impact and agri-technologies we provide a stable and trusted platform.
  • National impact: Although our roots began in the East, our work has a national and global reach, bridging the needs of our membership with broader industry trends. We rebranded in 2018 to become Agri-TechE as our work and membership expanded nationally.

Celebrating a decade of Agri-TechE

Last year – 2024 – marked 10 years of Agri-TechE . Our journey has been marked by significant milestones, including a vibrant community of innovators and a track record of successful events, including our annual REAP conference.

To commemorate our anniversary, we created a video showcasing some highlights of ’10 Years of Agri-TechE ‘. We also released our Back to the Future series and report, featuring contributions from our members reflecting on the past 10 years of agri-tech, and what we want to see in the 10 years ahead.
