The Challenge
Whether it's farm gate solutions, supplier forecasting, waste management, or sustainable packaging - data and digitisation are key to understanding and securing the food supply chain.
In today's fast and sometimes volatile food supply chain, disruptive innovation is necessary from field to fork in order to help the industry to survive.

How is the programme delivered?
This is a seven module programme that will run until March 2024 with workshops taking place fortnightly. It is delivered via a combination of virtual and in-person sessions through a series of themed meetups that brings together business and industry experts as well as leaders from established food supply or agriculture companies and startups to work towards a sustainable food supply chain.
Each of the seven modules is designed to expose food supply chain businesses and the AgriTech start-ups to core strategic thinking and best practices and will cover relevant topics that ensure a valuable exchange about innovation.
Why join?
Technology can help redefine food production systems, however we understand how hard it is for larger food supply chain companies and startups to work together to help tackle some of the challenges the industry faces. Through the Eagle Labs AgriTech Bridge programme, we help surface these challenges to collectively come up with new solutions to age-old problems.
Who’s it for?
The programme is aimed at corporates and startups involved at any stage of the food supply chain, from field to fork.
Through monthly physical & virtual meetings in a safe, innovative space we’re able to share ideas and combine expertise around specific shared challenges to work towards a sustainable solution.
Startups
Food supply or AgriTech startups or startups whose products, services or innovations can be applied to the food supply chain will be able to build deeper domain expertise and meet larger businesses from the industry to expand their network and potentially provide solutions or proofs-of-concept for larger businesses.
Established businesses
Incumbent businesses are introduced to new technologies, practices, skills and cultures to help transform and accelerate innovation in their business.

Testimonials
Steve Shearman, founder eCERTO, a cohort one start-up said:
“The EnergyTech programme is a hyper accelerant and provides the framework to really engage with leaders around hard to solve problems and quickly leverage technology regardless of company size. After just three sessions, the relationship building and quality of conversation is hugely refreshing. In addition, engagement outside the scheduled meetings is building a genuinely strong and cohesive cohort and peer group.”
