Scientist with petri dishes

Co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund, the London Agri-Food Innovation Clinic supported and promoted research and innovation in London's food businesses.

Each participant received an initial one-to-one consultation with LAFIC staff to better understand their business needs.  From this we developed a customised program to meet their innovation goals.

Product Development

Prototyping is an essential element of taking a product to market, and is fundamental to the journey of any innovator.

Our prototype modelling process is unique to the local product design landscape. Participants received expert advice on the design and manufacture of their product, for free, and kept 100% of the IP.
