The Agrolabs aim to showcase new technology for the agri-food sector, such as IoT with NB-IoT cellular connectivity, Artificial Intelligence, specialized SaaS services, Blockchain, etc. by deploying and testing them on-site, creating an environment where various users of La Vega Innova can experiment with different technological solutions firsthand. All information and data generated in the Agrolabs will be integrated into La Vega Innova's FIWARE platform.
We aim to foster an innovative and experimental ecosystem in the agri-food sector.
This allows agri-food stakeholders to learn about, test, and experiment with new tools that enhance aspects like yield, final production, consumer communication, supply chain management, and other crucial management factors.
We offer a local environment for testing and deploying technology.
The data generated by these projects is integrated into La Vega Innova’s FIWARE platform, promoting information exchange using the same standard and facilitating the development of new Agrotech products or services based on this data.
iHUB visitors can test the technology displayed in the Agrolab and access the results from each Agrolab’s dedicated platforms and the dashboards available on the FIWARE La Vega Innova platform. They can also gather information about the technology used in each Agrolab.
Agro-food technology companies in the iHUB can utilize the generated information and data to develop new products and services or enhance their existing ones.
These concentrate on the issues and challenges of the agri-food sector and the information already available from existing technology at CENCA and CENTER. As such, Agrolabs have proposed IoT technologies with NB-IoT cellular connectivity, artificial intelligence, and blockchain to boost the sector’s efficiency, profitability, and digitalization.
This involves providing a fertilization recommendation tailored to the specific needs of each crop.
We welcome you to share your innovative technological solution ideas for future agrolabs via the form on the La Vega Innova website. Our team of experts at La Vega Innova will evaluate the submitted ideas based on the requirements of the agri-food sector. The chosen idea will then be introduced to the market, and the company that presents the most innovative and technically feasible solution will be selected to develop and implement the agrolab, receiving a grant in the process.
Excited to propose an agrolab? We are all ears!Do not hesitate to reach out. You can also connect with us through our social channels or our contact form.
Active agrolabs will be listed on the La Vega Innova website, with their availability duration indicated. A physical space will be set up at La Vega Innova for you to explore and experiment with the deployed technologies.
Yes, all agrolabs are free services offered to iHUB users for validating and testing the deployed AgroTech technologies. .
Agrolabs will be set up either at La Vega Innova's physical location or at the experimental farms of CENCA/CENTER. Regardless of the location, the collected data and dashboards can always be accessed from the Vega Innova facilities, both on the available FIWARE platform and on dashboards and platforms specific to each agrolab.
No. Participation in an agrolab does not require the submission of personal data. If you wish to test the deployed technologies with data from your own farm or agrotech project, we assure complete confidentiality and protection of sensitive data (e.g., plot identification data) and their deletion after the agrolab concludes..
