SUMMARY:AgriTech Season - Crossing the Chasm Workshop
DESCRIPTION:How to successfully bridge the gap between your idea and the market \nOverview \nThe exciting growth of Agri tech is creating a new market place for solutions that improve productivity\, reduce waste and automate production. Precision agriculture\, novel food production\, connected supply chains\, and data-driven decision making are just some of the areas where new technology can be applied. Progressing a technology idea to market successfully has always been challenging and there is a well known and understood gap that has to be crossed. There are also many pitfalls in delivering a solution that is both suitable and robust enough for the intended application. \nContent \nThe workshop focuses on the challenges of developing an Agri-tech solution but the content will apply to other technology projects you may be embarking upon. \n• Establishing why new products and services fail and what to do about it \n• Maintaining a balanced approach \n• Technology – How to approach and understanding the stages \n• Researching the market and route to market \n• Selling – How to promote your idea \n• Organisation – Building your team & network \n• Finance \n• Proof of Concept – Demonstrating the feasibility of an idea \n• Prototype – The early sample\, model or release of a solution \n• Production \n• Software – considerations \n• Electronics\, Mechanics and Controls \n• Taking the solution to market \n• CE markings and compliance \nWho should attend? \nThe workshop is open to anyone actively working on or about to embark upon an Agri-tech project\, ideally you will be aiming to develop a physical real-world solution. Entrepreneurs\, SME’s and representatives from corporations are all welcome. The workshop is not suited to ideas that are purely mobile phone applications or cloud-based technology\, however if your solution utilises these as a system component then the workshop is certainly for you. Who is delivering the Workshop? The workshop will be delivered by Gavin Allen from Glideology\, an industry expert in developing fit for purpose technology which operates consistently in demanding environments. He has over twenty years hands-on experience in developing complex systems and high-speed machinery for the food production industry. \nFor tickets\, register here. \n

SUMMARY:AgriTech Season - Insects as Food and Feed - 3rd Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:The number of UK producers and users of insect based products\, both as animal feed and as a novel protein source in human diets\, is rapidly increasing. This conference will draw together the multidisciplinary aspects of this emerging industry and will provide a forum for participants to discuss the progress that has been made over the previous year\, exchange ideas and expand their existing networks. \nThe conference will be streamed live on the internet and a ten minute film of the highlights of each day will be produced. \nDay one will focus on insects as part of human diets\, while day two will examine insects as animal feed. Both days will begin with a case study followed by three short presentations that outline developments and challenges in that sector. Lunch will be followed by a general discussion. At the end of day one the Agricultural Innovation Centre “Farm 491” will provide a drinks reception in their new state of the art building. The conference dinner will then be held in the universities dining hall. \nThere will also be a trade fair on both days where companies associated with this industry can showcase their products and services. \nCosts \n\n\n\n1 Day pass including lunch\, coffee AM & PM\n£20.00\n\n\n1 Day pass including lunch\, coffee AM & PM plus dinner\n£40.00\n\n\n1 Day pass including lunch\, coffee AM & PM plus dinner\n& overnight accommodation\n£100.00\n\n\n2 Day pass including lunch\, coffee AM & PM on both days\nplus dinner & overnight accommodation\n£120.00\n\n\n\n  \nThere will be a coach from Swindon station to the RAU each morning and one from the RAU to Swindon station each evening. Times and costs TBC. \nPlaces can be booked by visiting the Royal Entomological Societies web site. \nThe UK has a world renowned reputation in agricultural innovation\, based on long-established farming industries.  UK farming includes aquaculture\, livestock\, arable\, and horticultural production\, and insect farming is becoming another aspect of the UK agricultural industry. \nThis conference\, coordinated by ADAS\, the Royal Entomological Society\, Multibox and Michelmores will bring together key scientists\, industry representatives\, policy makers and early innovators from across the UK. \nFor more information about this event\, please contact Mark Ramsden \n

On-farm demonstrations will give attendees the opportunity to engage with drones\, robots and thermal imagery. \nDiscussion topics are to be confirmed\, but may include: \n\nTackling pesticide resistance\nAnimal health and welfare innovation: What’s next in automation?\nFarmer-led innovation workshop: Discussion on the need for automation\n\nDay 2 – Smart Farming: Integrated systems and digital platforms – (5th April) \nDay 2 will look more closely into data management and tech companies who have developed software platforms. As well as this we will look into alternative agricultures\, such as indoor farming. \nDiscussion topics are to be confirmed\, but may include: \n\nAnimal health and welfare innovation: When are sensors useful?\nTackling the adoption barrier – what value are digital tools bringing to the farm today?\nAlternative agriculture – what alternative methods can we adopt in order to diversify?\nFarmer-led innovation workshop: Discussion on the need for sensors\n\nThe two day event aims to support and inform farmers about new technologies and developments that can assist with common on-farm issues. The event is open to any farmers looking to gain an insight into AgriTech companies and how they may be able to engage with them now and in the future. \nBoth days will run from 10am – 3pm at The Rural Innovation Centre\, Harnhill\, Cirencester\, GL7 5PU \nRefreshments will be available. \nTickets are £5 + VAT a day.
