Developing talent and interest in the agri-tech sector is important to ensuring we continue to develop innovative solutions and maximise impact.

In the Summer of 2020, NjordFrey partnered with University of Strathclyde Glasgow (UoS) by taking on 5 MBA students as part of their Summer Placement Programme. These 5 students worked on 3 NjordFrey R&D projects for 3 months to tackle real business challenges. Each MBA student produced a final dissertation to consolidate their research, which NjordFrey has incorporated into its business.

NjordFrey continued its partnership in 2021 via a 3 week student internship to look at exporting produce from Rwanda into various European countries.

We are also working with Strathclyde’s renewable energy team to explore opportunities to utilise bioenergy within our farm set up.
