partners
The #DigiAgriFood EDIH combines the strength of 6 diverse members, each of which contributes its particular expertise and background, constituting a complementary and comprehensive task force group. The consortium represents an EU local government organisation (Region of Eastern Macedonia & Thrace - REMTH), two Universities (Democritus University of Thrace - DUTH and University of Thessalia - UTH), a research and technology organisation (Centre for Research and Technology-Hellas, Institute for Bio-Economy and Agri Technology IBO-CERTH), a postsecondary and training association (The American Farm School - Perrotis College) and a business organisation which coordinates an innovation and technology cluster (ena development consultants).
Furthermore, EDIH partners have vast experience and background in deploying #DigiAgriFood strategies. Α relatively small partner scheme was chosen so as to ensure the coherence, flexibility and proper execution of the project. All other important actors belonging to the regional ecosystems of the selected geographical area have already been informed about the objectives and actions of the project and will participate in the form of indispensable satellites, operating as multipliers. In this direction, dozens of Letters of Support have already been secured.
