UK Agri-Tech Centre formally opens

Solutions for growers to be accelerated by new facility

THE new UK Agri-Tech Centre has been formally opened by Innovate UK CEO, Indro Mukerjee.

This follows last September’s announcement that three agri-tech centres – Agri-EPI, CHAP and CIEL – were joining forces to create a new integrated facility.

The centre, which receives its core funding from Innovate UK, is led by CEO Phil Bicknell and a newly-appointed executive leadership team. It will address challenges, identify new opportunities, and accelerate the adoption of agritech solutions for growers throughout the UK.

It is based at the Midlands Agri-Tech Innovation Hub located at Harper Adams University, in Newport.
