Are you up for the Missouri State Agri-Tech Challenge?
Building on the long-standing relationship between the State of Missouri and Agri-TechE, we are proud to be welcoming a high-level delegation of industry leaders and agri-tech experts from St. Louis to the UK to further develop and cement business relationships and collaborations.
Agri-TechE is the UK’s leading and longest-established membership network for agri-tech and has been working with Missouri since 2018, resulting in a number of bilateral relationships being forged between our members and organisations in St Louis.
We are planning an afternoon meeting which includes pitches to our international guests, partnering meetings with some of the St. Louis attendees, and a networking afternoon tea. To round off the day there will be an opportunity to continue discussions over drinks & dinner.
The delegation will include farmers, policymakers, research institutes and other organisations from the agri-tech cluster in greater St Louis area. Do you have a solution for one of BioStl's Ag Food and/or Missouri Farm Bureau priorities?
