REAP is where those passionate about agri-tech meet to exchange ideas.

Agri-TechE is the catalyst behind a unique ecosystem that is accelerating the rate of innovation. A key feature of REAP is the Start-up Showcase, an opportunity to have early sight of emerging technologies with the potential to revolutionise agricultural production.

Over 90 percent of the early-stage companies featured at REAP now have commercial products or services that meet the real-world challenges of food production. They have benefited from access to investment, business support, collaborators and farming partners within the supportive Agri-TechE network.

Innovation is driven by inspirational individuals. So, if you are a farmer or grower with a challenge or a business idea, an entrepreneur with an exciting technology, a researcher with a breakthrough, or an investor looking for the next ‘big thing’, then reserve your place at REAP now.

Our Agri-TechE team has a good idea of who you should be talking to and this personalised brokerage is being extended at REAP by AI facilitated networking.

You may have to bring your own coffee but those encounters – that make the innovation ecosystem vibrant – will be happening on an international scale at REAP 2020.

For REAP 2020, we have invited three companies from our previous conferences – Outfield, Breedr and Arable Labs – to share their journeys from concept to on-farm commercial adoption. All have made a significant impact transforming agricultural practice. Together with their farmer partners, they will discuss how to integrate innovation within a farming business and the benefits that can be achieved through working together.

The immersive format will make it easy for national and international delegates to find your stand and AI facilitated brokerage supports one-on-one chats
