The Mediterranean Agri-Food Competence Centre (MACC) had the honour to participate in the InnoDays innovation exhibition of the Region of Crete, demonstrating at its personal stand the network and the services that surround it. The presence of MACC is an important milestone in the Centre’s ongoing effort to promote innovation and sustainability in the agri-food sector.
The InnoDays networking platform is a hub not only for innovation but also for partnerships, connecting companies, universities, research centres and students to promote innovation and entrepreneurship. Using this platform, MACC conducted over 70 B2B meetings, taking advantage of its extensive network of businesses and institutions.
InnoDays 2023
On Sunday, MACC, in collaboration with members of Arosi Consulting and CyRIC IoT, organized the groundbreaking event “Unlocking the Potential of Ecological Schemes in the New CAP”. The event focused on enhancing the understanding and adoption of the “eco-systems” of the New Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), providing valuable information and tools for the adoption of sustainable practices in agriculture and livestock farming. During the event, the SmartAgroGenious smart agriculture product service was also presented, which integrates data from the field through telemetry systems for integration into ecological schemes.
In addition, MACC’s new “Associate Member” service was presented at the MACC stand, offering businesses access to a wide range of MACC services through an affordable annual subscription. This service aims to enhance the “competitiveness” of businesses through networking and development by providing them with privileged access to technological resources, technology transfer and research opportunities.
MACC’s participation in the InnoDays Innovation Days underlines its commitment to enhance the promotion and sustainable development of the agri-food industry. Through a framework of intensive research, technology transfer and education, MACC is leading the way towards a more sustainable and innovative future.
We would like to thank everyone who visited our stand, as well as our main sponsor, TUVHellas, for their important support and cooperation.
