Agri-Tech Week 2021

08/11/21

The fifth Agri-Tech Week 2021 event was hosted by the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association and showcased a unique partnership of data sharing and benchmarking across four major Norfolk farming businesses.

It is coordinated by Agri-TechE working closely with partners across the innovation ecosystem and aims to provide opportunities to attract new customers and partners and to broker collaborations and international connections.
