In collaboration with 8 Hours Ahead, The British Embassy China (Foreign & Commonwealth Office/Department for International Trade) and the Chinese Ministry of Science & Technology, Agri-EPI Centre is hosting a second webinar exploring agri-tech export opportunities in China.
For UK AgTech & Innovation C-Suites who wish to better understand the Chinese agri-tech market, or explore opportunities to export their solutions to the country, the webinar offers a deep dive into the Chinese agri-tech market. From key trends to specific challenges and barriers facing Chinese farmers, the webinar will identify opportunities, solutions and strategies to expand or diversify agri-tech solutions in China.
As well as a “big picture” overview of the China agri-tech market, the session will also explore structural, commercial, financial and executional support offered by the UK and Chinese governments, as well as support available from strategic partners such as Agri-EPI Centre and 8 Hours Ahead.
