As part of the EU-funded AgriFood4Future project ??, Trama TecnoAmbiental (TTA) and Building Global Innovators (BGI) are seeking Solution Providers (early-stage startups, tech SMEs, spin-offs, and research groups) to address 21 concrete industrial challenges.



We are actively scouting for solutions across key project focus areas, including:

- Water & Green Transition: Irrigation water treatment & purification (nitrate & chloride removal - Challenge #6), energy efficiency, decarbonization, and sustainable marine harvesting/automation (Challenge #18).

- Smart Farming & IoT: AI machinery, robotics, sensors (Challenge #12), and standardized API frameworks connecting agronomic data with Farm Management Software (FMS) (Challenge #17).

- Food Processing & Novel Ingredients: Food emulsions (Challenge #1), pet food drying (Challenge #3), free amino acids in regenerative farming (Challenge #10), Dulse algae valorization (Challenges #15 & #16), and Yacon ingredients (Challenge #21).

- Circular Economy: Side-stream transformation of agricultural residues (e.g., maize and vegetable by-products - Challenge #20).



Key Benefits for Solution Providers:

- Direct Industry Matchmaking: Work directly with European agrifood companies (Challenge Owners) actively seeking solutions for real operational bottlenecks.

- Pilot-Ready Feasibility Co-Design: Co-develop a structured feasibility study and pilot plan tailored to industrial clients.

- Market Validation & Traction: Validate your value proposition with potential commercial clients and build market traction.

- International Visibility: Present your pilot plan at an international stakeholder event and gain exposure across the European consortium network.
