Although agricultural innovation brings many benefits and a number of actions and tools are already in place, there are many barriers to exploring its full potential. To connect agriculture with innovative solutions, Technovator in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Tekwill project is launching the “AgTech Innovation Lab” – a program that supports the acceleration of the process of agriculture digitalisation, by combining digital tools in the agricultural sector, in order to increase efficiency and increase the competitiveness of the sector.

The training of the teams will take place before the Hackathon, through an online platform. The selected people will form teams, communicate in groups and define their business development ideas. Teams already created can also participate.

AgTech Hackathon. The event will run for three days, during which agricultural experts, information technology specialists and representatives of the agricultural industry will identify solutions to the proposed challenges and develop products in this regard. Innovative ideas must be commercially viable, sectoral, sustainable, integrate IT technologies, encourage collaboration and seek to solve one of the problems facing farmers.
