SMART SENSORS FOR AGRI-FOOD

PARTNERSHIP

Objectives:

the set-up of a platform between agri-food clusters and cluster

organisations representing the technology- or digital solution

providers, relevant RTOs and other related stakeholders,

lowering the barriers for agri-food companies to access and

implement the newest technologies linked to digitalization;

the establishment of a network of living labs, where these

newest technologies can be demonstrated and tested;

the collaboration between clusters and RTOs to create a trust

zone between the involved sectors, facilitating the exchange

of know-how and accelerating the introduction of technologies.
