We are looking for complementary ‘real world’ settings to demonstrate how technologies enabled by wireless connectivity can support food and drink production and showcase the benefits to other growers in a planned calendar of demonstration events.
Activities could include allocating a specific area of your site for hosting demonstrations to interested parties, working with the technology supplier and agricultural colleges to trial new applications and devices, sharing data collected for analysis, creating content for information sharing and dissemination via visual and in person presentations, social media and audio/video.
We will also ask you to collaborate with the relevant college(s) to provide learning opportunities and possible placements for students and to ensure that the technologies you are deploying inform the curriculums accordingly.
In return, if you are selected for the project, we will provide you with advanced wireless connectivity from our contracted telecoms supplier for three years at no cost to you in exchange for a commitment to work with us on showcasing your deployment of technology across your business.
