We work alongside businesses that are ready to grow, providing structured, hands‑on support that combines commercial insight, technical expertise and access to the right infrastructure and networks. With a dedicated team assigned to you, we help identify your priorities, remove obstacles and map a clear, bespoke pathway to market.

This combination of structured guidance and practical delivery helps businesses move forward with confidence — faster and with greater clarity.
Outcome: a stronger, scale‑ready business with a clear route to market and a compelling commercial case.
FASTA is designed to accelerate the adoption of scalable agri tech solutions that support productivity, sustainability and the transition to Net Zero.
FASTA is built to address these challenges and help innovators scale solutions that deliver real‑world impact.
Participants benefit from a programme of expert‑led support, including tailored mentorship, access to research capabilities for further validation, engagement with industry customers, investor readiness sessions, pitch development and a demo day to showcase solutions to corporates and investors.
Agri‑Tech Solution Sprints are short, intensive programmes designed to unlock a specific technical or commercial challenge.
Over a focused period, UK Agri-Tech Centre specialists work directly with your team to move your innovation forward — from refining a proposition to overcoming a development bottleneck or preparing for market entry.
No long lead times. No heavy burden. Just targeted support designed to help you progress to the next stage of growth.
The Global Growth Accelerator helps UK agri tech businesses validate solutions in overseas markets through co‑created, in‑country pilot projects.
We work with you to identify priority markets, build partnerships with key regional stakeholders and design pilots that demonstrate market readiness, investment potential and export viability.
By embedding businesses within local ecosystems, we help remove barriers to international growth and open new commercial pathways.
