Our mission at Rothamsted Enterprises
Our mission is to establish the Rothamsted Campus as the world-leading centre for agritech research and innovation.
Our aims are four-fold:
To ensure financial sustainability
We will deepen and broaden the relationship between UKRI, the Lawes Agricultural Trust and Rothamsted, enhancing the value of this unique research site to commercial scientists while leveraging the use of government investment.
To deliver impact
We will facilitate and enable collaboration by creating opportunities for researchers, SMEs, larger companies, investors, entrepreneurs and business developers to meet and interact to achieve meaningful impact on the local, regional, national and international science and business communities.
To foster relationships
We exist to enable and facilitate strong, long-term, beneficial relationships to develop between our tenants, Rothamsted Research, the business and science communities, as well as our stakeholders and partners.
To align ourselves with Government priorities
We constantly strive to identify ways in which Rothamsted Enterprises can work collaboratively with key partners, to respond to the Industrial Strategy, Hertfordshire’s growth plan, and Vision for Agriculture to meet the government priorities.
