Horizon scanning

Creating strategic roadmaps and mapping innovation opportunities for agri-tech development, we will help you identify emerging technologies and barriers to growth. Through thought leadership content on relevant industry topics, we also provide valuable insights across the agri-tech sector.

Technology scouting

We identify emerging technologies, assessing their feasibility against end-user requirements, support their development, and advise on strategies for their integration or adoption.

Open innovation

Designing and facilitating open innovation programmes that allow organisations to access external expertise, we’ll work hard with you to co-develop solutions, and tackle barriers to growth in partnership with farmers, SMEs, and academic institutions.

Concept development and solution design

Ensuring technology development always has the end-user in mind, we’ll help ensure that user feedback is incorporated into iterative development cycles through careful concept development and solution design.

Product testing and validation

Through conducting concept testing and prototyping, the gathering of user feedback and de-risking prior to full-scale development, our technical expertise in precision engineering, automation and system integration will help further refine and validate your product at commercial scale.
