Are you a UK-based AgriTech company interested in developing your business in Latin America?

Join this webinar to learn more about opportunities for satellite-enabled innovation, collaboration, and commercial activities for UK organisations within the Brazilian agricultural sector.

Funded by the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the Satellite Applications Catapult, supported by our Agri-tech sister centre Agrimetrics, has been working with the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) to capture opportunities for UK businesses to develop partnerships in Brazil and address challenges related to:

• Environment
• Satellite Monitoring and Geospatial Intelligence
• Informatics

This event, which forms part of the Satellite Applications Catapult’s Pipeline Stimulation Programme, has been designed to showcase these opportunities to UK organisations and enable you to meet with Embrapa representatives to discuss future partnership activities.

The event will be held virtually via Zoom.
