Priorities and funded actions

Objectives

To further the development of AI and AI-powered robotics technologies in order to serve the agri-food sector by enabling the full benefit of the digital transformation and the move to a Circular Economy for a more sustainable, affordable, efficient and competitive production under high standards.
To maximise the uptake of AI-powered solutions in agri-food to maximise the impact on the agri-food’s competitiveness and its main players

Priorities

Priority 1: to optimize the impact of the TEF, based various factors such as the maturity of the technology, the need for such testing facility, the potential scale of uptake, etc.
Priority 2: to cover agriculture as a minimum, but may also cover the whole value chain of the agri-food sector

Among financed actions

Testing processes, methodologies and metrics, established through the involvement of the necessary expertise to ensure representativity of the requirements and to maximize acceptance, reputation and trust of validation process, expected to become reference in Europe
Professional services support on technical aspects of AI testing
Access to the necessary digital infrastructure, as appropriate
If necessary, support services in other relevant areas such as business, legal and ethical compliance and verification/certification, including for a compliance with requirement from the future regulatory framework for AI
