UK Shared Prosperity Fund

Agri-tech Grant

This grant fund aims to support businesses who have been through our UKSPF Agri-Tech Alliance Project, piloting new technologies and products on their sites. Businesses will be referred to the scheme by our delivery partners for capital grants of between £5,000 and £20,000 to adopt the technologies which have been trialled on their sites.

Larger projects, which require greater funding than our scheme could provide, will be referred to the DEFRA scheme which offers grants of >£20,000 for the adoption of new products.

Businesses who have not participated in the Agri-Tech Alliance Project are still welcome to apply, applications from those businesses who have participated are likely to be looked upon more favourably.

Eligible Organisations

  • Businesses who have participated in our free-to-access Agri-Tech Alliance Project, and/or businesses operating in the agricultural sector.
  • Businesses who can provide proof of being registered to pay tax in the UK.

Organisations that do not meet the above criteria, are not eligible to apply for this grant.

Business support organisations, including Libraries Unlimited and Business Information Point, will be able to make applications on behalf of eligible businesses they are supporting.

Businesses who have not participated in the Agri-Tech Alliance Project are welcome to apply, but applications from businesses who have participated are likely to be looked upon more favourably.
