What does the UK’s #agritech community hope the Modern Industrial Strategy will deliver on the ground? This week’s Friday round-up comes from @syngenta 's global R&D HQ, where we debated four potential pillars of growth – investment, scaling, partnerships and exporting.

Huge thanks to Gardin, RootWave, Tropic and AgriSound for candid sharing of the importance of these pillars for the growth of their businesses. Throw in a site tour, meeting the next generation of #robodogs for crop scouting, and a scene-set from George Freeman who – in this week of the UK Budget - stands ready to support agri-tech in his capacity as Trade Envoy and the engine behind the 30:50:50 strategy for innovation for agriculture and horticulture.

Plus it’s our year end where we reflect on the year that's passed and look forward to the year ahead. We can officially collapse in a heap now all our 2025 events are DONE – other than prepping for – er – the 2026 line-up. A big thank you to the amazing little Agri-TechE team for a year well delivered.
