Meet the #DigiAgriFood partners
The #DigiAgriFood EDIH combines the strength of 6 diverse members, each of which contributes its particular expertise and background, constituting a complementary and comprehensive task force group. The consortium represents an EU local government organisation (Region of Eastern Macedonia & Thrace - REMTH), two Universities (Democritus University of Thrace - DUTH and University of Thessalia - UTH), a research and technology organisation (Centre for Research and Technology-Hellas, Institute for Bio-Economy and Agri Technology IBO-CERTH), a postsecondary and training association (The American Farm School - Perrotis College) and a business organisation which coordinates an innovation and technology cluster (ena development consultants).
Furthermore, EDIH partners have vast experience and background in deploying #DigiAgriFood strategies. Α relatively small partner scheme was chosen so as to ensure the coherence, flexibility and proper execution of the project. All other important actors belonging to the regional ecosystems of the selected geographical area have already been informed about the objectives and actions of the project and will participate in the form of indispensable satellites, operating as multipliers. In this direction, dozens of Letters of Support have already been secured.
The #DigiAgriFood EDIH is part of the Agrifood Thematic Working Group of the EDIH Network,
to promote interaction and cooperation among the agrifood ecosystem.
Moreover, DigiAgriFood has suggested and coordinated a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for Agri-Food European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) which establishes an collaborative framework to drive the digital and green transformation of the agri-food sector across Europe. Signed by 21 EDIHs from various EU countries, the agreement aims to support SMEs, farmers, and public entities in adopting innovative digital solutions. Key areas of cooperation include joint service provision, technology transfer, infrastructure sharing, skills development, and innovation financing support. The signatories will meet at least four times a year to exchange knowledge, organize field trips, and promote best practices.
