Smart Farming in Greece and NEUROPUBLIC’ s smart farming project – KATANA project

OpenCircle, an equity crowdfunding platform developed by Parnasse S.A. – and a consortium member of the KATANA Horizon 2020 project, organized on February 2nd 2017 a meeting at the premises of Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) in Athens, Greece. The event aimed at informing potential stakeholders about the possibilities of applying innovative ideas and the funding opportunities offered by the project.

NEUROPUBLIC was invited by the organizers of the event to talk about the status of Smart Farming in Greece, as well as to present its smart farming project which is currently taking places in various locations all over Greece, in collaboration with GAIA EPICHEIREIN. NEUROPUBLIC’s contribution aimed at highlighting the specificities of the Greek agricultural sector that prevent typical smart farming approaches from being successfully applied in Greece as well as at encouraging participants to participate with related innovative ideas in the open call of the KATANA project.

ΚΑΤΑΝΑ (http://katanaproject.eu) is a project funded through the Horizon 2020 programme and aims to promote innovative and smart business ideas in the agrifood sector. Through a well-defined process which includes innovative tools such as peer to peer evaluation and Reward Crowd Funding, at the final step 10 innovative consortia will be selected and receive €100.000 each, in order to proceed with the implementation of their ideas.
