Speak to our team about your pathway to commercial success

“Collaboration with the UK Agri-Tech Centre has helped Outfield expand into new markets such as Morocco and into new industries such as viticulture. It’s been great to work with the UK Agri-Tech Centre team and their network of innovation farms, and we are looking forward to much more collaboration in the seasons to come.”

“It is through working with the likes of the UK Agri-Tech Centre and Innovate UK that we’ve been able to access the growers, engineers and biologists that we need to develop and build our first prototypes of this technology. We’ve been able to expand our testing and generate the data to prove our claims and show the impact we can have at scale due to this support.”

“The UK Agri-Tech Centre has been an invaluable partner throughout this project, providing expert technical advice and access to demonstrator-scale R&D vertical farm facility to advance and validate our product and ensure it meets commercial requirements. The UK Agri-Tech Centre also facilitated crucial introduction to growers which accelerated global traction.”

“Utilising the dairy centre and the resources at the UK Agri-Tech Centre has provided an excellent controlled centre for further development of our device with validated data capture.”
