One year after its launch, the European project coordinated by FBK is working for companies wishing to validate their innovative solutions under real-life conditions of use.

The 220m€ investment provides permanent capacity to deliver responsible AI in Europe by testing AI solutions in practice before they hit the market and become a part of healthcare, manufacturing, agrifood and everyday life. One of those is the agrifoodTEF initiative: coordinated by Raffaele Giaffreda (FBK), it deals with the agricultural sector and food production.

With a total budget of 60 million euros and a time horizon of 5 years, AgrifoodTEF aims to develop testing and experimentation infrastructure to facilitate the adoption of services and products based on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in the European agrifood sector. The project’s kick-off will take place in Trento on February 1 and 2, hosted by Fondazione Bruno Kessler, the project’s coordinator.
