Mapping the Innovation and Commercialisation Infrastructure for Agricultural Technology in the UK

This report explores the landscape of infrastructure supporting the UK Agri-tech sector and provides insights into the challenges and opportunities for enhancing the commercialisation of Agri-tech innovations in the UK. The report adopts a broad view of ‘infrastructure’, including physical assets and facilities, as well as organisations providing ‘soft’ support to Agri-tech companies, such as funding organisations and industry networks.

Despite the UK’s world-leading research capabilities in Agri-tech, there are gaps in translating this research into marketable solutions that can achieve widespread commercial success and global reach. Through extensive analysis, this report seeks to identify gaps in the Agri-tech innovation and commercialisation infrastructure landscape and identify potential investment opportunities for policymakers and funding agencies that aim to support the commercialisation and scale-up of Agri-tech in the UK.
