Smart Agro Hub S.A (SAH)
Smart Agro Hub S.A is a dynamic competence centre operating in the fields of smart farming and agrifood sustainability. It runs as an independent entity (private company) in which the Agricultural University of Athens has joined forces with 11 private Greek companies, engaged in information and automation technologies, digital & energy systems, smart farming technologies and circular agriculture. Smart Agro Hub consists of highly qualified and motivated young scientists supported by a modern infrastructure (networking, computing, experimental facilities) and has full-fledged expertise on project management, capacity building, market linkage and stakeholders’ involvement. Due to consolidated relationships with the local agricultural ecosystem of farmers, agronomists, agricultural research centers, companies and service providers, the company offers consulting services and technological solutions devoted to digitalization of agricultural processes. SAH is currently involved in 6 Horizon Europe, 1 Digital Europe and 2 Erasmus+ projects.
Indicatively, the roles Smart Agro Hub undertakes in a EU funded research project are the following:
- Set up a pilot / use case by engaging the SAH experimental facilities
- Assess the environmental, financial and societal impact of the proposed technologies using Life Cycle Analysis;
- Strong dissemination and communication of the project results and tailored exploitation and innovation management strategies paving the way for products commercialization
- Organise capacity building and knowledge transfer activities
