Regional Clusters
SmartAgriHubs uses a Regional Cluster (RC) approach, where each regional cluster represents a group of agricultural Digital Innovation Hubs, Competence Centres and Innovation Experiments. The Regional Clusters are led by organisations that are closely related to national or regional digitisation initiatives and funds. SmartAgriHubs gathers 9 Regional Clusters spread across Europe.
Each Regional Cluster brings its own unique characteristics and expertise to bear, and thereby contributes to the SmartAgriHubs ecosystem. Within their regional scope, specific agri-food challenges are addressed with the help of the services, technology and research provided by the Digital Innovation Hubs, Competence Centres and Innovation Experiments. The role of Regional Clusters is to establish bridges between the agri-food sector and technology providers in their respective regions and thereby contribute to knowledge exchange and the establishment of a pan-European market of digital solutions for the agri-food sector. In other words, Regional Clusters help foster agri-food innovation ecosystems on a regional level, and facilitate their embedment within the wider European ecosystem.
