Abstract

From innovation to adoption: why this event mattered. Across Europe, agriculture and food systems are undergoing rapid digital transformation. Artificial intelligence, robotics, and data-driven solutions are increasingly within reach, backed by major investments through the Digital Europe Programme. Yet for many SMEs, technology providers, and public actors, the real challenge is not whether solutions exist, but how to access them, test them, and turn experimentation into operational deployment. Test and Experimentation Facilities (TEFs), European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs), Data Spaces, and Advanced Digital Skills initiatives each support this journey. Too often, however, they are experienced as separate entry points rather than a single pathway, leaving potential users unsure where to start, which services are relevant, and how initiatives connect.
