Innovate UK, part of UKRI, is offering up to £5 million in grants through the AgriScale funding opportunity to UK registered businesses. This initiative specifically targets projects focused on industrial research and manufacturing within the agri-tech sector, aiming to bridge technology gaps that impede commercialization and large-scale production. The funding is structured as a grant, with applications opening on March 30, 2026, and closing on June 3, 2026.

Eligible entities must be UK registered businesses collaborating on projects. The primary goal is to support the scaling up of agri-tech products towards commercial acceptance and manufacturing. Compliance officers should note the specific opening and closing dates for applications and ensure their organizations meet the collaboration and UK business registration requirements to participate in this funding opportunity.
