Grow Your Own Way With The UK Agri-Tech Centre
)
The UK Agri-Tech Centre has launched a new campaign, titled ‘Grow Your Own Way; We Mean Business When it Comes to Agri-Tech’ spotlighting trailblazing agri-tech companies that are reshaping the future of farming, accelerating innovation and contributing to economic growth across the sector. It highlights emerging technologies, including robotics, AI, advanced sensing and Controlled Environment Agriculture and demonstrates how the UK Agri-Tech Centre has helped enterprises to grow and scale.
The UK Agri-Tech Centre has engaged with over 300 businesses, providing facilities, expertise, hubs, a farm network and much more, helping companies such as Upcycled Protein Power (UPP), Antler Bio and Fotenix who are leading the way in developing innovative solutions to support more resilient farming systems. UPP Freya are revolutionising horticulture, addressing labour shortages and food waste by automating broccoli harvesting and upcycling crop by-products. Their ISO 9001-certified Harvesta machine lowers carbon emissions and enhances UK food security, enabling ingredient production from side-streams. Antler Bio is enhancing livestock productivity with Epiherd, an innovative decision support tool for dairy farmers, which utilises AI and delivers actionable insights. Fotenix is scaling AI powered crop diagnostic technology in-field and expanding trials across more indoor systems.
A central feature of the Grow Your Own Way campaign is a dedicated Growth Week, scheduled for 2–6 February 2026, including a mix of virtual and face-to-face sessions intended to help businesses develop while tackling key barriers that limit progress within the agri-tech sector.
Look out for new exciting ways the UK Agri-Tech Centre is supporting businesses, which will launch in the new year - including the Food and Agriculture System Technology Accelerator which will be open for registrations from the 6th January 2026.
