Transforming the Dairy Supply Chain with Innovation & Collaboration

An event for anyone interested in dairy supply, new and transferrable technology, product development, or sustainable solutions.

About this Event

Hosted by the Digital Dairy Chain, this free event will showcase the support and funding available to anyone with an idea or solution to address a challenge faced by the dairy supply chain.

You will hear from a variety of ongoing projects that have received Innovation Voucher funding on how they have developed new concepts with the support of the Digital Dairy Chain team. Find out more about the new products, processes, and services these projects aim to deliver.

There is also the opportunity to find out about some of the larger research projects which the researchers from the University of Strathclyde have been working on with First Milk.

This will be an informal and friendly event with time for discussions and idea sharing. We look forward to welcoming you along! Lunch will be provided as part of the event.
