Agri-TechE January 2020 Newsletter

Happy New Year! This is the first update under our new name Agri-TechE and 2020 already looks as though it will be the beginning of many changes.

The Oxford Farming Conference this week will be the first opportunity to hear from spokespeople from the new Government, which makes our members only event on 13th January very timely with speakers from Defra and Innovate UK.

We are working hard to develop the agri-tech cluster and to ensure our members are poised to capture the value of being part of the network. Intangible benefits are hard to measure and this is the theme of our blog, which takes inspiration from the IT industry.

If your New Year resolution is to turn a good idea into a business then do enter the GROW agri-business plan competition and tap into the significant business development support available.

Hope to see you soon at one of our networking events.
