agROBOfood is an EU funded project aiming to build a European ecosystem for the effective adoption of robotic technologies in the agri-food sector, which in turn will become more efficient and competitive. The heart of the project is formed by Innovation Experiments, organized and monitored by Digital Innovation Hubs, in 7 Regional Clusters. agROBOfood already connects the world of Robotics and Agriculture, R&D and business by establishing a sustainable network of Digital Innovation Hubs.
The current document is cataloguing the business, ecosystem and technology services that can be provided from agROBOfood partners to SMEs involved in the deployment of robotics for the the agri-food sector in Europe. Those high added value services aim to help companies (in particular SMEs) of the sector to accelerate the implementation of robotic technologies.
SMEs can choose among the services available, but if they cannot find what they are looking for, they can also request other services, not currently included in the catalogue. Those new requests will be evaluated and accommodated if possible. The aim is to regularly enrich the catalogue with new services stemming from the needs of SMEs.
You can quickly browse through the different categories of services from the side menu or download the full agROBOfood Service Catalogue here.
