Recently, the European Union has approved funding for the SmartAgriHubs (SAH) initiative, a multimillion dollar, five year project framework designed to increase the competitiveness and sustainability of Europe’s food-tech sector. The initiative aspires to create an interconnected ecosystem of Digital Innovation Hubs, where stakeholders work together in different phases of innovation towards designing and implementing digital solutions for the Ag sector. At a regional level, the Romanian NGO ANAMOB has been selected to manage the calls for project proposals to be implemented in the South East Europe Regional Cluster countries, including in the non-EU states of Israel, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey.

We understand the importance of securing flexible and competitive financing solutions in the development of intelligent technologies for the Ag sector. As such, we invite you to attend a panel discussion with the CEO of ANAMOB, Mr. Viorel Marin, who will speak in detail about the scope of the project, grant awards, sectoral priorities, etc. Mr. Marin will be leading a delegation of eleven Romanian IT and Ag companies, which are interested in applying for financing under the SAH framework and are actively seeking partnerships with US companies that operate across Precision Ag market segments, such as: automation, imagery, adaptive irrigation, livestock management, food safety, supply chain, etc.

We believe that is an excellent opportunity for the US food tech companies to increase their footprint in Europe, secure financing for food-tech projects, forge knowledge and innovation based business partnerships across the continent, as well as generate higher trade and investment flows across the Atlantic.
