The UK Agri-Tech Centre has launched a new campaign designed to spotlight trailblazing agri-tech companies that are reshaping the future of farming, accelerating innovation and contributing to economic growth across the sector.

Titled ‘Grow Your Own Way (https://ukagritechcentre.com/news-insights/grow-your-own-way/) ; We Mean Business When it Comes to Agri-Tech’, the campaign highlights emerging technologies, including in robotics, AI, advanced sensing systems and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and demonstrates how the UK Agri-Tech Centre (https://ukagritechcentre.com/)  has helped enterprises to grow and scale.

A central feature of the campaign is a dedicated Growth Week, scheduled for 2–6 February 2026, including a mix of virtual and face-to-face sessions intended to help businesses develop while tackling key barriers that limit progress within the agri-tech sector.

Helen Brookes, Engagement Director at the UK Agri-Tech Centre, said: “We really do mean business when it comes to agri-tech. We support businesses and the sector to grow; while ensuring that these solutions have been trialled on-farm and are therefore robust and relevant to meet industry challenges. This campaign celebrates the ingenuity and ambition of those in agri-tech who are committed to creating a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector.”

To date, the UK Agri-Tech Centre has engaged with more than 300 businesses, offering access to facilities, technical expertise, innovation hubs and a widespread farm network. This support has helped companies such as Upcycled Protein Power (UPP), Antler Bio and Fotenix advance technologies that contribute to more resilient production systems.
* UPP Freya is transforming horticulture by tackling labour shortages and reducing waste through automated broccoli harvesting and upcycling crop by-products. Its ISO 9001-certified Harvesta platform lowers emissions and boosts national food security by enabling valuable ingredients to be generated from side-streams.
* Antler Bio is driving gains in livestock performance with Epiherd, an AI-enabled decision support tool for dairy herds that offers practical, data-driven recommendations.
* Fotenix is expanding the deployment of its AI crop-diagnostics technology, supporting in-field use and broadening trials across a wider range of indoor environments.
