The REAP Technology Hub is OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

“South Korea can be a base camp to enable UK companies to develop technology for Asian countries,” says Professor Kyeong-Hwan Lee, who is creating a pilot test farm in Chonnam province as the first step toward building an agri-tech science park. Eight organisations from South Korea will join others in the Tech Hub.

The Tech Hub, kindly sponsored by the Cambridgeshire Peterborough Combined Authority, features business services, exciting agri-tech and sources of funding and support from around the world. Our vibrant innovation ecosystem is attracting delegations from east coast USA through to far east Asia.

Remco Lucassen, Oost NL

No man is an island – we need our friends

‘We are still neighbours: despite the sea and Brexit, we want to do business with you,’ is the strong message coming from Oost NL. There is a strong appetite among farmers and agri-tech companies to build links that transcend the political discussions; this includes creating a gate-way to European markets.

Opportunity to hear a taster in a webinar on 9th November and to meet the Oost NL (The East Netherlands Development Agency) delegation in the Tech Hub.

Farmer focussed innovation – sharing experiences

The focus of REAP is on creating collaborations. Farmers and growers that have worked closely with entrepreneurs to develop technologies to support precision livestock production, field scouting services and advanced decision support for crop protection, discuss their experiences.

If you want to follow-up with the speakers, share experiences with delegates or gain advice – REAP’s Swapcard brokerage makes it easy for you set up meetings. Make sure you upload your profile.

First chance to see emerging agri-tech

Technologies discussed by scientists in the Emerging Agri-Tech session may seem futuristic but they are inspired by – or related to – everyday objects.

Come into the lab and learn about the link between: cake and soils; disease testing and a Dyson as well as a bomb and plant nutrition.

Launching at REAP!

The brains behind Small Robot Company’s team of agri-robots is to be launched at REAP 2020.

Wilma provides ‘per plant intelligence’ using precise information gleaned by Tom, the scouting robot, on the health of the plant. If she identifies the plant as a weed then Dick – the world’s first non-chemical robotic weeder – is despatched to zap it.

As the AI, robotics and machine vision technologies being used by Small Robot Company show, the pace of innovation is accelerating – gain a briefing on what’s on the horizon at REAP.

Sign-up now to REAP 2020 to join the live launch.

Agri-Tech Week 2020 logo (round)
Agri-Tech Week – Virtual, but vibrant!

“One farmer was so convinced by the multiple benefits of early soil improvement trials he adopted the practice across his whole farm after just two years.” Leading research institutes discuss recent developments in a series of events during Agri-Tech Week. Workshops on crop sensing from ADAS, pesticides for a non-chem world at Norwich Research Park, soil health and the circular economy at NIAB. Controversial discussion hosted by Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association and advanced technologies for soil science that show insights for farmers to be discussed at the AHDB meeting.

A fantastic Week of FREE events – and all are BASIS registered as well! Check out the programme for the Week here.
