Focusing on companies involved with agri-tech, food  and drink manufacturing and food and drink logistics in the Marches LEP area, AGRI provides free innovation support in the form of business advice and technological prototype development. The support is delivered by Aston University and Harper Adams University and utilises their expertise and technical resources.

​

 Agri-tech Growth and Resources for Innovation

​

AGRI seeks to address barriers to business growth in the agri-food industry by providing a free innovation support service focused directly on the companies own innovation requirements. The support will involve a combination of workshops and one-to-one business advice, which can then progress to include assistance with technology development or application.

​

The project will also facilitate the development of a network for peer advice and SME collaboration through events held at the Agricultural Engineering Precision Innovation Centre (Agri-EPI), which is funded by the National  Strategy for Agricultural Technologies and is based at Harper Adams University.
