Agri-Tech East’s December Newsletter

STOP PRESS – Agri-Tech East has been named ‘Networking Group of the Year’ in the national final of the SME Business Awards! Read the full story.

The scale of the agri-tech cluster is increasing and we have outgrown our name! Our membership now spans the UK and internationally, as well as the east of England, so we’ve decided to give our brand a bit of a refresh. Our heart and soul will still be grounded in the east, but we’re tweaking our name to reflect our Evolving and Expanding membership, so from January we will be Agri-TechE.

A New Year offers the chance for new starts and we are inviting you to: experience the St Louis agtech cluster; make a business from an idea; gain the inside track on government policy; and learn about viticulture. We look forward to seeing you next year!
