Food tech and agri tech
Technology drives the global economy. From lab-grown meat and urban-farming to SaaS, blockchain and machine learning, technology is shaping how companies do business today and in the future.
We advise software, hardware and biotech providers (and all the hybrid companies in between) on how to protect, commercialise and enforce their technology and IP assets.
Our team has a particular strength advising VC-backed tech businesses with in meat substitute technologies, SaaS offerings, AI, and blockchain.
