Fully engaged in the European innovation dynamic.
Agri Sud-Ouest Innovation is the cluster of innovation for ecology smart agrifood chains. Agri Sud-Ouest Innovation brings together most of the economic, political, research and training players in the South-West’s agriculture and agri-food sector.
We are located in the heart of the leading agri-food regions in France: Nouvelle-Aquitaine, 1st in value and largest agricultural area, and Occitanie, 1st in organic farming and number of farms. Agri Sud-Ouest Innovation is a driving force of the national ecosystem, engaged in the European innovation dynamic.
News in brief
Kick off Biocapital : Official launch of the Bio-Capital project last June 27th ! In this project, we will be discussing about how to mobilise investments for protecting and restoring biodiversity through innovative financial solutions and advanced geospatial analytics. ASOI is partner together with 16 partners from 12 EU countries. ASOI brings its members AgroSolutions and Earth Daily, and is in charge of the Agriculture Use Case.
ASOI is currently involved as partner in 9 EU projects under Horizon Europe, Interreg or ERDF fundings. ASOI is pursuing its development towards Europe by focusing on participation in projects that serve its strategy and its members: projects that enable progress to be made on innovation trends or redistribute European funds in the form of cascade funding.
The partnership between the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) and the European Union recently launched 18 new calls for projects, so don’t miss out !
The drafts of the framework programme Horizon Europe for 2025 are now available! Although confidential, ASOI has had access to the provisional list of almost 80 calls for projects. Agroecology, sustainable agriculture, the circular economy, nutrition and food safety, water management in agriculture, and the use of digital twins are among the many activities funded. Stay tuned!
How unique we are
Agri Sud-Ouest Innovation serves as a nexus for diverse, high-value productions. Our geographical footprint encompasses the production of a wide range of crops including fruits, vegetables, vine, wine, corn, sunflowers, as well as soya and pulses. Simultaneously, we are situated within a leading region for livestock rearing, spanning beef cattle, sheep, and goat milk production. Our location further extends into the cultivation of palmipeds, a key element in the distinguished foie gras production.
Our Excellence in AgTech Topics
Agri Sud-Ouest Innovation’s activities build upon and contribute to the roadmap of the European Green Deal to achieve carbon neutrality on the continent by 2050 integrating resilient, green, healthy and sustainable food systems.
Our network links a wide range of actors from both scientific and economic worlds. We aim to support companies for the access to financial resources, project engineering, skill acquisition, and searching potential partners to facilitate the integration of innovative technologies in our territory with a competitive advantage. We seek to create added value through cooperation between these different stakeholders and participate to the transfer of know-how and the implementation of joint innovative projects in the agri-food sector.
A key Partner in major EU projects
Our team is fully involved in European projects. Horizon Europe, Clustering, Inter-regional and other international initiatives are all within our scope. Our experience joined to our expertise is a key point during collaboration with different stakeholders to share practices, knowledge, and to offer the companies access to financial opportunities. We are notably an active member in different European networks such as Traceability and big data and Smart Sensors for AgriFood.
