The hub's office is located at Linköping University and is led by Karolina Muhrman and Per Frankelius. The initiative spans over three years, with a budget of SEK 20 million. 🌽 This event underscored the transformative potential of digital technology in agriculture, aiming to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of Swedish farming. The day began with a warm welcome and coffee, setting a collaborative tone for the discussions ahead. Karolina Muhrman and Per Frankelius opened the event by highlighting the necessity of a national knowledge hub dedicated to agricultural digitalization. Their insights laid the groundwork for understanding the strategic importance of this initiative. Several innovative examples were presented, including the DeLaval milking robot, which was highlighted as a key innovation supporting farmers. It improves the productivity and longevity of cows while reducing labor hours per liter of milk. 🍃 The kick-off event was a resounding success, marking the beginning of a new era in Swedish agriculture. By embracing digital technology, the sector is poised to achieve greater efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness. As we move forward, the Knowledge Hub for Agricultural Digitalization will play a crucial role in driving innovation and supporting farmers.

Join us for this Ireland/New Zealand joint webinar at 8 am next Wednesday 11th September, to learn from Irish and New Zealand experts what the context and drivers are of each country's agtech ecosystems!

In November 2023 - with support from USAID, UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and DAI - our team at Beanstalk AgTech authored a “State of the Sector” report looking at the past, present, and future of #digital #AgTech in low- and middle-income countries across South(East) Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Latin America and Caribbean regions. We spoke to >250 thought leaders and practitioners across >60 countries, surveyed hundreds more, and held a series of regional and thematically-aligned workshops to help get us there. Our collective intention was to provide more than a set of case studies, statistics, and forecasts that will sit in reports and presentation decks to come. Rather, our focus was on generating data- and insight-driven, stakeholder specific ideas for action that could help drive an impactful, inclusive, climate-smart, and commercially-viable future for the sector that inertia and market forces are likely not to do alone. We’ve spent the months since putting our pens down 🖊️ putting our organizing hats 🎩, working with IDH and learning from >60 leaders in the field to structure 5 backable multi-stakeholder partnership concepts to translate some of our report’s most critical recommendations into action. We are on the hunt for more feedback and partners that will help us adapt these further in national and value chain contexts. Join us tonight to hop into the discussion and learn more about how you can be involved!

📢 Synergy Days is an ever-expanding network, aiming to connect actors across the entire agri-food chain. This year, we were proud to showcase the work of European Digital Innovation Hubs as key actors in #digitalinnovation. Who are they, what digital solutions do they offer to the European agri-food sector? We spoke to Location Innovation Hub abouts its goals and journey. Curious about what they shared? Have a look at the advice they had for other innovators below 👇🏻 🔍 Discover the interview here: https://lnkd.in/e9TNpvwi #EDIH #agriculture #food

At BEAM CropTech, we understand that the basis of all innovation is science, and our institutional partners are proof of this. Thanks to the support and collaboration of  Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) and the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research, called CONICET, we have developed our PHOTOSYNTER technology from basic science to a scalable product. 🚜🌱 The UBA and CONICET have granted us the license to develop and commercialize this innovative technology that enhances photosynthesis in crops. This enables producers to increase their yields without expanding agricultural borders. 💡🌍 With the seal of "HECHO en UBA" and the support of CONICET, we have brought Argentine science to the countryside, where we help crops utilize sunlight more efficiently on every hectare, resulting in greater sustainable production. 🌿 This collaboration between institutions and private companies demonstrates the value of local innovation applied to global problems such as food security and sustainability in agricultural production.
