in brief

On Wednesday, June 4, in Santander, Agri Sud-Ouest Innovation was honoured to receive notification that three projects submitted to the SUDOE program had been accepted. BIOSOLUDOE (ASOI leader): aims to build a network of five living labs (two in France, two in Spain, and one in Portugal) to develop biosolution-based integrated Pest Management Strategies. SPACEAGRO (Catalonia Institute of Space Studies leader, ASOI partner): aims to exploit the potential of the latest spatial data to develop innovative services for agriculture. ASCA (Spanish Chamber of Commerce leader, ASOI partner): aims to develop training and expertise services to support agri-food SMEs in their digital and environmental transition. Through its involvement in these projects, ASOI gives access to EU funding for six members of its network (INVENIO, UPVD, MTB, Institut Agro, Institut Polytechnique Bordeaux) who are participating as partners. These projects complement the cluster’s strategic roadmap in the areas of “Agroecology transition » and “Digital transformation in agriculture and the food sectors ». With these three new projects, ASOI is now involved in 12 European projects with 17 members of its network. The cluster is thus confirming its position in Europe and its ambition to become one of the leading catalyst for innovation in the agriculture and agri-food sector.

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!
