Welcome to the official programme of SmartAgriHubs' Final Event! This virtual magazine will be regularly updated with the latest information and is accessible on desktops, tablets and mobile. 

The first day of our Final Event will be reserved for the members of the SmartAgriHubs project. The Synergy Days are open to everyone, however, registration is required. Join us for a wide variety of interactive workshops and sessions, and discover the exhibitors of our Agri Tech Marketplace! 

The SmartAgriHubs project is coming to an end on November 1, 2022. After 4 years, the project will be celebrating its community and its legacy in a 3-day conference from 26 to 28 September in Lisbon, Portugal. The event will gather partners, experts, and members of the European institutions to discuss the results of the project and its perspective. 

SmartAgriHubs is a €20 M EU project under the Horizon 2020 instrument and brings together a consortium of well over 164 partners in the European agri-food sector. The project aims to realize the digitisation of European agriculture by fostering an agricultural innovation ecosystem dedicated to excellence, sustainability and success. By connecting and fostering European agricultural and IT innovation, SmartAgriHubs extends digital solutions to the agri-food sector and helps farmers and their businesses to achieve real and attainable results. The Innovation Portal lies at the heart of the SmartAgriHubs community, gathering more than 800 organisations and 3500 users.

The 4 years of the project reflect the changing landscape of European agriculture. For example, the first SmartAgriHubs Open Call was launched during the first wave of the pandemic on 12 May 2020, and aimed at mitigating its effects on our food systems. At the start of the Ukrainian war, SmartAgriHubs launched a call for support to its community, connecting with its partners in Ukraine. Now more than ever, we need to foster meaningful innovation which can support our food systems.

The essence of SmartAgriHubs is to connect the dots – we collaborate closely with 15 European projects. This is why its Final Event will not only be dedicated to its community, but also to the organisations and partners that will continue to support its work. The event will be dedicated to enhancing collaboration among European innovators and exchange on the digitalisation of European agriculture. The Final Event will feature an “Agri-tech Marketplace”, where European projects, Digital Innovation, start-ups, and universities… will be able to present their work and connect.
