The TECNOVA Technological Center joins the official launch of the international project “Supporting the Demonstration of Sustainable Digital Solutions for Agriculture” (SDN – Stírixi – digital – Nōgyō), recently held in Cyprus.

This initiative, funded by the EIG CONCERT-Japan program, brings together institutions from Japan, Cyprus, and Spain with the aim of accelerating the adoption of advanced technological solutions in agriculture.

Coordinated by the Sustainable Energy Laboratory of the Cyprus University of Technology, the SDN project seeks to close the gap between scientific research and practical application in a strategic sector for the future of food and the environment.

TECNOVA participates as the European reference partner in applied research and technology transfer, contributing its specialized expertise and strong capacity for collaboration with companies and international centers.

Communication and Digital Database

In addition, TECNOVA leads two of the project’s main work packages. The first focuses on ensuring effective communication, maximizing the project’s visibility and impact at both national and international levels. To achieve this, the center will coordinate the promotion strategy, engage key sector stakeholders, and disseminate results through diverse communication channels.

The second work package is dedicated to designing and developing a collaborative digital database to collect key information on stakeholders, funding opportunities, regulations, and emerging technologies in digital agriculture. This centralized repository will serve as a bridge between researchers, entrepreneurs, and agricultural professionals in Spain, Cyprus, and Japan, enabling new connections and collaborations.

During their stay in Cyprus, TECNOVA’s technical team held meetings with universities, public institutions, and technology startups, sharing experiences and strengthening new alliances to drive the digital transformation of the agricultural sector.

According to Mari Carmen Galera, General Director of TECNOVA:
“This project reflects our commitment to applied innovation and our ability to lead international initiatives that connect science and business. TECNOVA has proven to be a strategic partner for the implementation of sustainable digital solutions in agriculture, contributing to the development of technologies tailored to different contexts and real needs of the sector.”

Since its beginnings, TECNOVA has established itself as a benchmark center in the validation of technological solutions for intensive agriculture in warm climates, with a presence in more than 30 countries and a portfolio of over 200 services.
