What was it all about?
Hort Innovation engaged independent consultants to evaluate the impact of our R&D investments, providing insights into the type and magnitude of impacts that are being generated across the company’s strategic levy programs.
This is a key piece of investment evaluation work, and a yearly process for the company, which began through the project Ex-post impact assessment (MT18011) and continued through this program.
The results from each year are available below.
