BioByte: Digital Technologies for a Resilient Agri-food sector

1 April 2025
9:30-14:30 CET

How can digital technologies boost resilient, resource-efficient value chains? This event dives into the practical use of technologies like artificial vision, sensors, blockchain-based traceability and digital twins tackling challenges from crop production to biomass valorisation. Hear from experts, explore real-world replication cases, and join interactive panels to discover how innovative digital tools can enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and create new revenue streams. A must-attend for those interested in the future of agri-tech and their role in our food systems. 

In an era where efficiency and resilience are key, digital technologies offer powerful solutions to enhance value chains across the agri-food sector. This final meeting will explore practical applications of digital innovations such as artificial vision, sensors, blockchain-based traceability, and digital twins—addressing challenges from crop production to biomass valorisation. Join us as we hear from industry experts, examine real-world replication cases, and engage in interactive discussions. 

In-person attendance is limited, and spots will be allocated on a confirmed basis. Please finalize any travel arrangements only after receiving confirmation of your in-person participation.

Registration is required for both in-person and online attendance. Livestream access details will be provided closer to the event date.
