Agri-EPI Centre

Profile 

Agri-EPI Centre is one of the four Agri-Tech Centres supported by Innovate UK (similar to Agri-metrics). We have been established as the go-to enabler, working with various agri-food and drink businesses, scientists and engineers to turn ideas into new innovative solutions and services that will generate economic growth and address sustainable productivity of food.

We have access to our own asset portfolio (ranging from pre and post harvest assets, laboratory equipment, drones, dairy and pig units); access to commercial farms (test facilities for new tech developments); innovation units for start up businesses (offices, conference facilities and engineering space) and international SmartFarms (New Zealand, China and Paraguay). In addition to this we support technology business by developing supply chain connections and assisting with connections to academia. We have a membership spanning all areas of our stakeholder groups including academia, supply chain (farmers, processers, retailers) and technology providers (space, software and hardware). We have over 120 members.
