Solving Connected Data Challenges Through the Lens of AgriTech
📅 26 May 2026 | 🕒 12:30–13:30 CEST | 🌐 Online workshop
Connected data ecosystems are becoming increasingly important for improving how agricultural value chains operate, coordinate and scale. From precision farming to logistics, supply chain management and marketplace integration, the agricultural sector depends on the ability to share and use data securely across multiple actors, technologies and environments.
This online workshop will explore how Cloud, Edge, IoT and AI technologies, together with secure data sharing and interoperability approaches, can help address concrete challenges across the agri-food sector. The discussion will focus on how connected digital ecosystems can improve logistics, strengthen supplier coordination and support more efficient operational models.
Taking agriculture as a practical lens, the session will bring together perspectives from technology providers, agri-food marketplace actors, producers and research organisations. Speakers will discuss how connected data, data spaces and emerging digital infrastructures can enable more secure, interoperable and value-driven collaboration across Europe.
