The government is investing £12.6m to boost UK agri-tech. Two new competitions will open this autumn:
- Small R&D Partnerships: Up to £7.8m for later-stage projects, opening 15 September. These help businesses develop new farming products or services and move them closer to market.
- Feasibility Studies: Up to £4.8m for early-stage ideas, opening 13 October. These help test and develop new ideas and decide whether to invest in larger R&D projects.
The innovation programmes are delivered in partnership with Innovate UK and you can find out more at: £12m ‘Dragons Den’ farming innovation boost - GOV.UK.
