About
AgriSphere SOLUTIONS is an international initiative dedicated to accelerating the adoption of digital innovations in agriculture. Funded under the 11th Joint Call of EIG CONCERT-Japan, the project brings together leading institutions from Spain, Cyprus, and Japan to demonstrate, validate, and scale cutting-edge technologies for sustainable farming across diverse environments.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between research, technology providers, and end users—enabling farmers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to benefit from the latest advances in precision agriculture, robotics, and data-driven solutions. By fostering cross-border collaboration, AgriSphere supports the international exchange of knowledge, skills, and successful practices that address the urgent challenges facing global food systems.
Through a combination of field demonstrations, capacity-building workshops, and a curated catalogue of digital solutions, AgriSphere empowers stakeholders at every stage of the agri-tech value chain. Our digital platform provides a central hub for learning, networking, and accessing resources, ensuring that innovation remains accessible, inclusive, and impactful for agricultural communities in Europe and Japan.
