University of Lincoln launches agritech business funding initiative

The University of Lincoln is launching another 10-week business accelerator designed to help early stage agricultural technology (agritech) businesses to drive innovation in the UK’s agriculture sector.

The initiative, which was announced in December, is in partnership with Barclays Eagle Labs, a business accelerator support to start-up businesses, particularly those who are focused on technology and innovation.

Applications are now open to entrepreneurs in the agritech sector with a promising business plan or early stage (0-3 years) agritech businesses with the desire to grow.

Simon Pearson, director of the Lincoln Institute of agri-food technology, said: “Agriculture has been at the heart of Lincolnshire’s economy for decades and the Lincoln Institute for agri-food technology is here to ensure that farming and food production make the most of the technological advances on offer.
