ABSTRACT:
The SmartAgriHubs project enables a broad digital transformation of the European farming and food sector. With a €20 million budget co-funded by the European Union, the project aims to build an extensive pan-European network of Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs). Consequently, the project has the potential to be a real game changer in the adoption of digital solutions by the farming sector. Recent initiatives have shown the eagerness of the sector to seize the opportunities offered by ICT, network and data–oriented technologies. However, current available applications are still fragmented and mainly used by a small group of early-adopters. SmartAgriHubs will leverage, strengthen and connect local DIHs, and embed within them 20,000 Competence Centres (CCs) throughout Europe. SmartAgriHubs has already put a large network of 140 DIHs together by building on its existing projects and ecosystems, such as the Internet of Food and Farm (IoF2020) project. All SmartAgriHub DIHs are aligned with 9 regional clusters, which are led by organizations that are closely related to national or regional digitization initiatives and funds. This multi-layer approach is supported by 28 Innovation experiments in which ideas, concept and prototypes are further developed and introduced to the market. More than 2 million farms are expected to be involved through 4000 experiments reaching 80 market-ready digital solutions. SmartAgriHubs brings together different expertise and involves a broad value-chain network covering all EU member states. The consortium, led by Dr. George Beers of Wageningen University, includes a vast network of start-ups, SMEs business and service providers, technology experts and end-users. The UAL, an integral part of the core consortium, leads one of the six work packages. End-users from the agri-food sector are at the heart of the project and the driving force of the digital transformation. The project launches on November 1st, 2018 and has a duration of four years.
