Welcome  to this edition of the Agri-TechE Early-Career Innovators' Forum newsletter (previously Young Innovators' Forum).

September always gives the feeling of turning over a new leaf so it felt a good time to tell you about our change of name. We hope the new name reflects the diverse range of people setting out in a career in agriculture and who are part of the Forum!

We have got lots of exciting events coming up which we hope to see you at, alongside insights and updates to share with you.
