The first European Digital Innovation Hub in the Hellenic agri-food sector, #DigiAgriFood, has received two new official European distinctions (badges) for the quality and impact of its services:
- Training and Skills Development
- Test Before Invest
The “Badges Programme” of the European Digital Innovation Hubs Network has been designed to recognize the outstanding efforts and achievements of EDIHs. Badges are awarded across five distinct categories, covering four types of services and Digital Maturity Assessments (DMAs). Learn more here!
More than 360 beneficiaries have received targeted support through #DigiAgriFood under the Training and Skills Development and Test Before Invest services, enhancing their digital skills, gaining access to testing infrastructures, and preparing for a transition toward a more sustainable and innovation-driven business model.
Which distinctions we received
Training & Skills Development: Recognition of the quality and effectiveness of our training programmes and digital skills development.
Test Before Invest: Recognition of the high-quality services we offer to businesses and producers through “test before invest,” providing access to new technologies and infrastructure without initial risk.
Support to Find Investment: A key point for businesses and startups — support in accessing investments and funding tools.
Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA): DigiAgriFood Hub has already completed the digital maturity assessment of over 850 producers in Greece and is processing this data to design more efficient actions in the future.
What these data mean for the agri-food community
• Safe testing before investing — SMEs, farmers, and producers can experiment with new technologies in real environments before making an investment.
• Skills empowerment — Training in digital literacy, sustainable agriculture, and new technologies, helping reduce the skills gap in the agri-food chain.
• Preparation for growth and investment — With information on investment tools and funding opportunities, the path toward innovation and climate transition becomes more accessible.
• Digital & green transition — DigiAgriFood enhances the adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as AI and smart farming systems with respect for the environment, contributing to sustainable agri-food production.
These two new distinctions further strengthen #DigiAgriFood’s position as a key reference point for digital transformation and innovation in the agri-food sector.
