Rothamsted Enterprises

Rothamsted Enterprises is part of the historical Rothamsted Research campus, located in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside.

At the heart of agricultural research, Rothamsted Enterprises is a unique hub focused on promoting collaboration and innovation by partnering with commercial agri-tech businesses and opening up the research process.

Rothamsted Enterprises offers a range of facilities including our state-of-the-art conference facilities, including a 300-seat auditorium, our flexible laboratory and office space, as well as our range of meeting space, all of which provides exciting opportunities for businesses to thrive.

Rothamsted Enterprises is located on the same campus as Rothamsted Research’s many scientists, so can offer tenant companies access to award-winning expertise in a range of disciplines from genomics to field ecology, and, with their extensive national and international network of collaborative organisations, Rothamsted Enterprises is the perfect partner for your collaboration and innovation plans.

Business Support

Rothamsted Enterprises have been an active member of Agri-Tech East since we were established in 2015. The collaboration between us and Agri-Tech East enables us to deepen the support that we offer to our own onsite community here at Rothamsted Enterprises.

The range of events they run, including those that have been hosted at Rothamsted Conference Centre and those hosted with other members, enable us to engage with our key audiences in a variety of different ways.

These include their pollinators, conferences, hackathons, farm tours, training courses and opportunities to exhibit at larger events such as CropTec and The Royal Norfolk Show. The most important event for us is the REAP Conference, where we sponsor The Start-Up Showcase. The Showcase highlights many great new ideas and businesses that are bringing new thinking to the world of agri-tech and these are exactly the types of people we want to engage with at Rothamsted Enterprises.

The content delivered at all Agri-Tech East’s events is at the cutting edge of agricultural technology and research and provides insights into issues and topics that are directly affecting agri-tech today.

Belinda, Becky, Laura and Fiona have been great at making introductions to other members, including their network of start-ups, entrepreneurs, industry experts, investors and scientists, as well as helping us to raise our profile amongst the agri-tech community in the East of England and further afield.

Sustainability-focused partnership between Hertfordshire’s JPA Workspaces and Rothamsted Enterprises

The Russell Building at Rothamsted Enterprises in Harpenden, has been newly refurbished to provide much-needed office and hotdesking space for growing SMEs across agriculture, innovation and technology. The investment has breathed new life into the building, bringing forward modern, multi-use spaces, including 22 offices of various sizes, from 200ft2 to over 1,200ft2, a hot-desk hub for flexible working, and an open plan innovation space where entrepreneurs can meet and collaborate before prototyping their ideas and testing on-site. JPA Workspaces, based in St Albans, Herts, has assisted with the furnishing of the expansive hot-desking hub and reception areas. Additionally, they have worked closely with Rothamsted Enterprises to furnish a show office with contemporary, height-adjustable desks, wireless charging and desktop power, to help attract and inspire prospective tenants.
