What’s been very useful for us has been the multiple different options that Agri-TechE has emailed out to members over the years, including various start-up incubators and trips abroad. We've managed to win a couple of them and go on a few trips and it's been fantastic.

Membership of Agri-TechE has been an extremely valuable facility in our drive to commercialise a product in a market of which we had little previous knowledge.
Attending Agri-TechE events has allowed us to rapidly develop our understanding of the Agri-TechE sector, meet key individuals and companies in the sector and develop important relations that are assisting our product development.

As someone with little previous knowledge in agriculture, being involved in Early-Career Innovators' Forum (ECIF) events and the programme has meant I get a wider exposure to different things happening in the agricultural industry, as well as meeting new people and making new connections.
I have learnt so much from attending the different events hosted by Agri TechE, and I am grateful for the opportunities given to attend places I normally wouldn’t be able to go to.
I honestly couldn’t recommend the ECIF programme enough to others!
