Exhibition opportunity for naturetech innovators!
As agriculture navigates a new landscape of environmental ambition, our next conference spotlights ‘NatureTech’ innovation for enabling the delivery, measurement, and monetisation of ecosystem services across UK farmland. We’re looking for innovators to exhibit their technology at the one-day event “The Productive Landscape: NatureTech for Profit and Planet” on 28th April 2026.

Early-Career Innovators’ Forum (ECIF) Agri-Tech Careers Morning

Early-Career Innovators’ Forum (ECIF) Agri-Tech Careers Morning

 

You will get an insight into the career trajectories of each speaker and have the chance to explore things further during the panel discussion. What we’re hoping to showcase is that there is no set path for making it into the world of agri-tech. As a vibrant and fast-paced sector, there are certainly ‘junctions’ of opportunities available, with different skillsets along the way.

Come and join us to find out!

Who is this for?

  • Anyone with an interest in careers in agriculture and/or agri-tech is welcome to join this event.
  • We suggest those most likely to benefit are early career professionals in any area of agriculture who are keen to explore their professional development.

 

Why should I attend?

To learn about what agri-tech and agriculture can offer as an early career professional

To hear from a range of experts and be inspired by their varied career trajectories

To network and gain valuable contacts

To determine how you can make the most of your current skills

To assess what new skills and experience you need spring board you to your next opportunity

Agri-tech is a vibrant and fast-paced sector with a lot to offer, but as a new-comer to the industry, it can be a challenge to know where to look and who to talk to for opportunities. Look no further!

Whether you are curious about technical vs transferrable skills, or knowing where to find them, there is a world of opportunity out there.
