Collaboration is critical between businesses, experts and farmers if AgriTech is to be successfully adopted, which will be a key topic at the South West AgriTech Showcase.
The agricultural sector is currently being asked to help with climate change by adopting re-wilding, organic or regenerative farming techniques while producing high-quality, low-cost food to help with the cost-of-living crisis. And the AgriTech Showcase aims to help farmers navigate these issues, as well as assist with forward planning.
The Showcase offers the perfect place for those across the agritech industry to collaborate and discuss the latest developments. And the event offers a unique opportunity for visitors to see what agri-tech has to offer for the industry.
Looking to the future, attendees can find out what solutions could be available from the space sector in the Marketplace. “Invest Bristol and Bath will be joining forces with Space West, a regional consortium of academic and industry partners designed to accelerate growth and innovation in the space sector,” explains Antony Merritt, Head of Enterprise, Inward Investment and Trade at the West of England Combined Authority.
“We are enthusiastic to be presenting the Showcase with solutions from the space sector, like satellite applications, environmental monitoring and data analytics.”
The West of England Combined Authority will also be on hand to highlight other innovative solutions. “This event will spotlight cutting-edge research, development, and technology in agriculture, showcasing our commitment to a sustainable future,” says Stephen Bashford, Strategic Director of Economy and Skills.
“We need to harness our collective strengths and highlight innovative solutions from local businesses like Map Impact and MyOxygen. Together, we're pioneering agricultural technology that's setting the standard for the nation."
