Meeting 3-4 December 2019

In Autumn 2019, the Agri-food Working Committee Meeting, co-organised by JRC, Junta de Andalusia and the Enterprise Europe Network, took place on 3 and 4 December 2019 in Malaga. It was organised within the context of the event entitled Digitalisation and New Technologies in Agri-food.

The event had four different parts:
 
  • 2019 Autumn Working Committee Meeting (3 December 2019)
  • Exploring synergies between Digital Innovation Hubs and Agri-food Partnerships (4 December 2019)
  • Field visit (4 December 2019)
  • B2B event (3-4 December 2019) organised bythe Enterprise Europe Network (EEN)

The objective of the 2019 Autumn Agri-food Working Committee Meeting was to showcase activities related to exploration, exploitation and deployment of digital services and technologies by the AF Partnerships. What is the added value and contribution of the partnerships? How important new technologies are for AF partnerships and how the AF partnerships go about their mapping and use? Focus will be also on specific technologies (not yet) used by the partnerships, market needs and matching demand with offer. Significant space will be given to companies that will pitch successful collaboration within AF partnerships, successful uptake of technologies by agri-food sector, possible technological solutions for agri-food or promising new emerging technologies for agri-food.​​​​
