GUESTS are being invited to visit five new cutting-edge agritech workshops at Manor Farm in Harnhill.
The open day on Tuesday, September 26 will give those interested a chance to look behind the scenes at the site, part of the Royal Agricultural University’s larger Farm491 hub.
The workshops, which opened in June, are practical spaces for innovators to test and refine ideas before launch – as well as offering more established businesses a work place, a base for collaboration and a business address.
Verity Payne, Farm491 co-ordinator, said: “The open day is a chance for others to share in what we’re doing here at Farm491.
“We’re a community, an enterprise hub, and a business launch platform.
“Farm491 is here to support, guide and connect people to facilitate business progression.”
She went on to say: “Harnhill offers the complete solution to any agritech start-up. It’s a combination of collaborative workspace, workshop facilities and access to 491 hectares of farmland.
“It’s a buzzing community where agritech businesses can take off and succeed.”
