GROW-ing early stage businesses

Agri-TechE

We are delighted to see that GROW finalist, Smartbell, has moved into trials on Croxton Park Farm. The product monitors the behaviour of cows to detect early signs of lameness.

If you have an idea for agri-tech and want support to develop it into a business concept do enter our GROW business plan competition. Register your interest before 10th March 2017 and you will be teamed up with a mentor with relevant experience to help you test your concept.

Agri-TechE is helping to develop a supportive environment to nurture the growing pipe-line of early stage businesses and GROW with its mentors and prizes of free accommodation, access to networks and profile raising is a key part of the initiative.
