The global market for technologies to enhance agricultural productivity are predicted to reach US$300bn by 2021. Building on the Memorandum of Understanding signed between UK and Canadian Governments in September 2017, there is ongoing interest to make the most of research and development opportunities between Canada and the UK to develop new innovation activities for mutual benefit.

We’re emailing to invite you to the UK-Canada Agri-Tech online workshop on Friday 20 April to:

Continue the development of innovation priority areas in the Agri-Tech sector
Explore and further develop opportunities for collaboration
Share details of emerging funding opportunities to support UK-Canadian partnerships

The event will be looking at ways for UK and Canadian organisations to work together to make the most of the global opportunities in agriculture and food production, as world-leaders in research and development activities.

Dial in for the online workshop will commence at 1430 London / 0930 Ottawa time. The workshop will take place in between 1500-1800 London / 1000-1300 Ottawa time.

The workshop is relevant to people working or having a connection to the following key sectors:

Animal & Plant Genetics
Precision Farming
Big Data
AI & Robotics
Automation
Diagnostics & Sensor

This work will help underpin future collaborations between the UK and Canada that will develop precision agriculture solutions to increase crop and livestock (including aquaculture) production through improved biotic stress management, resource use efficiency, resilience to climate variability and digital connectivity.
