Multi-Country project in Agri-Food

This funding program targets a broad range of stakeholders, including public and private entities, across Europe to drive the digital transformation of the agri-food sector. The core objective is to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness through advanced digital and data infrastructure, fostering a fair, competitive, and innovative data economy while reducing administrative burdens.

The program supports projects focused on developing and deploying digital and data infrastructure, implementing cross-border use cases, and providing operational support for collaboration within the agri-food sector. Projects should address gaps in existing infrastructures and contribute to the digital transformation of the sector, from concept to deployment.

This initiative provides grant funding, with a substantial budget allocated for the development of multi-country projects in agri-food. The financial support aims to enable large-scale investments and promote the sustainable implementation of digital and data infrastructure.

Applicants must adhere to specific admissibility criteria, eligibility rules, and financial capacity requirements. Projects must prioritize close collaboration with existing EU initiatives, ensure legal compliance, and aim for financial sustainability beyond the project's lifecycle.

The application process involves preparing proposals using specific forms and submitting them through the online system. Evaluation and award criteria, along with timelines, are clearly defined in the program's official documents to ensure a transparent selection process.

The funding program is established and governed by specific European Union regulations and work programmes, ensuring its legal foundation and operational framework. These foundational texts guide its implementation and define its scope within broader EU policies.
