Nordic Edge invites members to a targeted, curated market programme for the United Kingdom — two intensive days in London, 21–22 October 2026.

The UK is one of the most dynamic markets for agricultural technology, driven by new regulatory frameworks and a strong focus on sustainability.

In partnership with Agrifoodtech Norway, Innovation Norway, and British market experts, we are putting together a compact and effective "How to Enter" programme. We build the programme around your company: we open doors, connect you with the right players, and facilitate meetings that would otherwise take months to arrange on your own.

 

1. Digital Kick-off & Market Readiness (Online/at home)

Before departure, we run a hybrid workshop to sharpen your UK market strategy — with insights from experts in the British market.

 

  • Market Intelligence: Review of the UK landscape, subsidy schemes, and technology needs

  • Operational Setup: Practical introduction to company formation, legal requirements, and recruitment in the UK

  • Value Prop Check: How to tailor your pitch to British decision-makers?

 

2. Market Programme: London (2 days)

Day 1 — Market, meetings, and introductions

  • Warm introductions: We connect you directly with potential partners, distributors, and industry players — relationships we personally vouch for

  • British clusters and industry players: Meetings facilitated by Nordic Edge through our UK network — including organisations such as The UK Agri-Tech Centre, UK Urban Agritech, and BOFIN

  • Investor roundtable: We facilitate a session with British investors and potential industry partners

  • Innovation Norway: Sessions on market entry, support mechanisms, and funding opportunities

  • Daily Debrief: Joint wrap-up at the end of the day — sharing leads and market insights with cluster colleagues

Day 2 — Company visits and relationship building

  • Site Visit: We arrange a visit to a leading British innovation hub or test centre

  • Company visits: Visits to relevant British companies and potential partners on their own turf

  • Action Plan: We facilitate a structured debrief and a forward plan for each participating company

  • Daily Debrief: Summary and next steps


After the programme:
Nordic Edge will produce a consolidated market report based on the programme's meetings and insights, shared with all participants.

 

Why participate?

- Efficiency: We condense months of market research into three high-intensity days.

- Network: You get direct access to an ecosystem that takes time to build on your own.

- Community: As part of a Nordic Edge delegation, you stand stronger when meeting UK stakeholders.
