  • As AI and deeptech rewrite the “rules of the game”, how are agri-food market structures shifting – and how does this reshape how innovation is captured, developed and scaled?
  • From co‑development, sponsored R&D and venture clienting to JV spinouts, which innovation pathways are reshaping how value is created, shared, and de‑risked?
