Make connections to fast track your ideas
We can help you meet the right people to collaborate with to explore ideas or find new solutions.
If you need to connect with another organisation to help you achieve your goals we can help you to find partners best suited to your needs.
Maximise your chances for success when applying for funding
We share information on funding opportunities. We are often first to find out about new funding for AgriFood innovation from organisations including Innovate UK.
We host events that both provide in-depth information about funding and enable innovators to meet collaborators.
If you are looking to apply for funding to explore a new idea or find new solutions to a challenge we can help guide you towards the most appropriate funding. We can also offer guidance on how to write a successful application.
Access information to help you meet your goals
We run a range of events and activities to bring together the AgriFood sector. We can help you to explore new topic areas or challenges.
If you are looking to learn more about a topic area, we can share our knowledge and insights on events or activities you might be interested in.
