iLivestock to Tango with Argentine Farmers

iLivestock is set to embark on a knowledge exchange visit to Argentina next month, as we are selected by Agri-EPI Centre, a leading agri-tech innovation hub, to join a market visit funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.

The knowledge exchange visit, which will take place from 6th to 17th November 2023, aims to explore the opportunities and challenges for UK agri-tech companies in the Argentine market. Argentina is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of beef, dairy, grains, and wine, and has a strong demand for technologies that can improve productivity, sustainability, and animal welfare.

iLivestock already has its software and hardware on test farms in Argentina, but this will be the first time that the company’s representatives will visit the country and meet with potential customers and partners.

Anne Wellenberg, Head of Product at iLivestock, said:

“We are very excited to be part of this trip and to learn more about the Argentine agricultural sector. We believe that our solutions can help farmers improve their efficiency, profitability, and animal health. We are looking forward to showcasing our products and getting feedback from the local experts and farmers.”

The trip will include facilitated visits to farms, research centres, and industry associations, as well as workshops and networking events with key stakeholders from the public and private sectors. The visit is organised in collaboration with AgriTIERRA, a local agri-tech consultancy firm, Movimiento CREA, a farmer-led organisation that promotes innovation and best practices, and the Department for Business and Trade.

Partners

Agri-EPI Centre, which supports the development and adoption of agri-tech solutions in the UK and abroad, said that the trip is a valuable opportunity for tech-ready SMEs like iLivestock to gain insight and knowledge into the opportunities for UK agri-tech in the Argentine market.

The Knowledge Exchange visit is funded and supported by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
