From projects developing new chemicals to protect plants and livestock against diseases, to novel ways of preventing sprouting during storage in potatoes, the meeting will look at what makes a successful collaboration, and what to look for in a new (working!) relationship.
Aimed at processors, researchers, technologists and all those involved in the development of new technologies and services for agri-business, the event - to be held at Centrum, Norwich Research Park, NR4 7UG - will feature speakers including:
- Keith Norman, Velcourt: “Industry’s role in publicly funded agri-tech research – Beneficial or Academic?"
- Dan Hewitt, Nelson Country Foods & Rob Field, John Innes Centre, Alex Holden, John Innes Centre: “Lab to farm: seeking practical solutions to crop protection and productivity.”
- Barry Wilkinson, Isomerase Therapeutics: “Developing new agrochemicals and animal health products from soil microorganisms”
- Daniel Kindred, ADAS : “Applied solutions and farm networking for enhanced crop productivity, quality and resource efficiency.”
The 'Symbiosis and Synergies; the Secrets to Successful Agri-Tech Collaborations' meeting, to be chaired by HGCA, is generously sponsored by Mills & Reeve and hosted by kind permission of the Norwich Research Park.
