Project UPDATE brings together a dynamic consortium of partners, who have a successful history of cooperation on the XBIT project. The project aims to improve competitiveness in the programme area by strengthening cooperation between business support institutions, clusters, education and research organizations, and entrepreneurs.
The UPDATE project is a significant initiative that aims to promote the uptake of innovative technologies and support the development of new products and services in the programme area. The partnership brings together a wealth of experience and expertise and is well-positioned to deliver meaningful results that will benefit the local economy and society.
Project SASFRU will capitalize achievements of the project CROSS TREE. Project aim is to raise resilience, cut back costs and increase competitiveness of the fruit growing sector through introduction of smart agriculture solutions (automation, mechanisation and digitalization). The modernization of agriculture is rapidly going into direction of information technology (IT) and digital solutions. These new tools are often expensive and not proven in professional agriculture, especially fruit growing.
Further strengthening of existing water laboratory with additional equipment will widen possibilities for knowledge transfer, expand collaboration synergies and offer new specialised services to the entrepreneurs.
