  • To identify and connect existing initiatives and entities in Europe with the capacity to share technical, financial, training and/or other services to contribute to the development of DIHs in agriculture
  • To identify and discuss about the specific needs and potential barriers to develop DIHs in Europe focused on agriculture.
  • To define main priority steps to further develop DIHs in agriculture [and to foster collaboration among them at European level]

Target groups: Universities, research technology organisations, farmers, farmer's organisations,  entrepreneurs, SMEs, start-ups, incubators, investors, EU regions and member states, innovation brokers, agriculture advisory services
