From robots to mini-beasts, the Agri-Tech East REAP conference last week covered a wealth of topics, all looking at how technology and perspectives from external sectors and geographies can shape UK agriculture.

A workshop of experts will share knowledge during Agri-Tech Week this week (7-11 November).

Innovation starts with understanding the problem. By creating opportunities to get farmers involved earlier in agri-tech developments – in both the lab and the workshop – Agri-Tech East has stimulated a range of exciting collaborative projects. Now its work as a ‘Knowledge Catalyst’ has been recognised with an award at the EDP Business Awards.

Christoph Graf Grote of Spearhead International will speak about large-scale farming at Agri-Tech East's REAP conference on 9 November and bring a farmer's perspective to the "Towards a new Agroeconomy" discussion session.

New findings from the Sustainable Intensification Research Platform (SIP) are providing insights into the support that farmers need to improve economic and environmental incomes.
Agri-Tech East’s national REAP Conference in November is the UK’s only agri-tech conference where you can meet representatives from global agri-business alongside the newest of start-ups, spot the innovators of the future, and see it all in practical action through a series of technical demonstrations and exhibits.

Agriculture is increasingly impacted by global factors and the Eastern region's agri-tech cluster is keen to show the world that it is open for business.

Advanced engineering could be the solution for the sustainable intensification of agriculture, as technology for producing service robots reaches maturity. Experts in robotics from University of Cambridge, University of Lincoln and Harper Adams University will be discussing the latest developments during Agri-Tech East’s ‘Pollinator’ event on 11 October 2016.

The Agri-Tech East cluster supports a pipeline of innovation through the UK's only national agri-tech business plan competition.
At the Royal Norfolk Show this week, Agri-Tech East brings together an exciting cross-section of innovations in partnership with the RNAA and the University of East Anglia (UEA), providing an ideal opportunity for discussions with people at the cutting-edge of the industry.

The big challenge for early stage entrepreneurs seeking venture capital is to become a compelling storyteller, says Michael Lee, Managing Director of Syngenta Ventures.
