Test, validate, improve
Within the NXTGEN Hightech Agrifood ecosystem, specialized test locations have been set up to validate innovations in realistic agrifood environments. From precision farming to food processing, this is where prototypes are tested, processes optimized, and technologies validated. The insights gained from these tests accelerate the adoption of new solutions across the sector.
Goals
Our vision for the future
To successfully bring technologies into practice, thorough testing and validation are essential. Our focus lies on building a robust data infrastructure, developing digital twins, and strengthening collaboration between technology providers and end users. This approach helps accelerate the integration of innovations, improve decision-making, and prepare the agrifood sector for a hands-free future.
Real-world testing for real-world impact
Within NXTGEN Hightech Agrifood, innovations are not only conceived but also thoroughly tested under realistic conditions. In the innovation packages for Open Field Cultivation, Greenhouse Horticulture, and Food Processing, technologies are trialed in environments that closely resemble day-to-day practice. This approach helps us improve innovations, work more effectively, and prepare them for real-world application. Discover the 9 test locations of Handsfree Agrifood.
