The AGRITECH MSc training successfully continued with the pilot implementation of Modules 03 and 05, attracting a large number of students interested in digital innovation and advanced agricultural technologies. The modules focused on “Artificial Intelligence for Deep Tech Agriculture” and “Data Computing for Smart Agriculture,” providing participants with valuable knowledge on AI applications, data-driven decision making, smart farming systems, and precision agriculture technologies. Students, academic staff, and project partners actively engaged in discussions and practical learning activities related to modern agritech solutions and sustainable farm management. The strong participation highlighted the increasing interest in AI and data technologies within the agricultural sector and reinforced the importance of developing advanced digital skills for the next generation of agritech professionals through the AGRITECH initiative.
The AGRITECH MSc training successfully launched the pilot implementation of Modules 01 and 02, attracting strong participation from students interested in deep tech agriculture and project management and innovation. The training brought together MSc students, academic staff, and project partners to explore key topics related these topics. The high level of student engagement demonstrated the growing interest in technology-driven solutions for sustainable agriculture and modern farm management. The pilot modules provided participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical insights into emerging Agritech tools and methodologies. Further training activities and upcoming modules will continue to strengthen students’ skills and support the development of a new generation of Agritech professionals within the AGRITECH initiative.
Dr. Georgios Ntinas (ELGO-DIMITRA) and Ms. Alexandra Thomaidou (OECON Group) highlight the importance of the AGRITECH Educational Hub and its role in shaping a more innovative and sustainable agri-food sector in Greece through the education of the next generation of AGRITECH managers.
The Greek AGRITECH Hub brings together ELGO-DIMITRA, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and companies OECON Group and SCIENTACT, with the support of the Greek Ministry of Agriculture, the Geotechnical Chamber of Greece, and the Association of Manufacturers of Agricultural Machinery of Greece.

The AGRITECH Erasmus+ Digital Education HU-HUB was successfully launched at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE), bringing together key stakeholders to support the development of digital skills and innovation in agriculture on 27 0f March, 2026.
The event gathered 13 organisations, representing all four components of the Quadruple Helix model: academia, industry, public sector, and civil society. This broad participation confirmed both the relevance of the initiative and the strong interest in collaborative approaches to agricultural digitalisation, under the moderation of Dr. Krisztina TOTH.
The opening session was led by Prof. Dr. Zoltán Bujdosó, Vice-Rector for Education at MATE, who highlighted the importance of initiatives that connect universities, decision-makers, industry partners, and students around shared challenges in agri-digital transformation.
Dr. Eng. Daniel Amariei (PAMEA), co-coordinator and Communication Manager of the AGRITECH project, presented the project’s international dimension and its role in shaping a new educational ecosystem for AgriTech skills development. Representatives of the Hungarian project partners, Gazdakontroll Kft. and DDTG Kft., also addressed participants and underlined the importance of national-level engagement.
A central part of the event was the presentation of the pilot course “Management of Digital Agricultural Systems”, coordinated by VGFI. The course reflects the AGRITECH approach of combining technological, managerial, and practical competencies within a single learning framework.
The programme also featured an interactive session and roundtable discussion led by Prof. Dr. Gábor Milics, focusing on future skills, digital competence development, and the preparation of advisors and farmers for emerging technological challenges. Contributions from institutional representatives, industry experts, and students clearly showed that advancing education in agri-digitalisation requires continuous dialogue and joint effort.
Several key organisations are already actively contributing to the pilot programme through teaching activities. These include KITE (sensor technologies in smart agriculture), ABZ Drone Ltd. (Deep Tech Agriculture), Gazdakontroll Kft. (project management and innovation), and AK4.0 Hungary (AI, data processing, and computing in smart agriculture). In addition, the NAK – National Chamber of Agriculture participates as a supporting partner, monitoring results and exploring future integration of the programme into advisory training schemes.
The discussions held during the event confirmed that the HU-HUB is more than a project activity. It is developing into a practical collaboration space that supports knowledge exchange, aligns innovation needs with education, and contributes to the continuous improvement of training content.
The successful launch demonstrated strong interest and active engagement from all participants, setting a solid foundation for future HUB activities. In the longer term, the HU-HUB is expected to contribute to a more structured, knowledge-based, and partnership-driven ecosystem for agricultural digitalisation in Hungary.
The AGRITECH-HU-HUB is a professional cooperation platform established within the framework of the Erasmus+ AGRITECH project, which aims to enable stakeholders in agriculture, education and consultancy to think together about what knowledge and skills will be needed in the coming years.
The HUB focuses on the most important agricultural trends: digitalization, artificial intelligence, precision solutions, and sustainability. The goal is not to discuss these only on a theoretical level, but to jointly determine what is really worth teaching and how to create training courses that provide knowledge that can be used in practice.
The opening event, which will be held in Gödöllő on March 27, 2026 (Friday), aims to initiate a professional dialogue on the agricultural competencies of the future and to lay the foundation for the pilot Digital Agricultural Systems Management training course to be launched in 2026.
During the program, discussions with the participants will cover:
which competencies are most important in everyday practice,
what obstacles hinder development and spread,
what kind of collaborations could really work between education and professional actors.
The event will be held in a hybrid format. Interested parties can participate in person at the MATE Szent István Campus in Gödöllő, or online via Microsoft Teams. The information required for online participation will be sent after registration.
AGRITECH project was successfully presented at the stand of project partner OECON Group of Companies during the 31st AGROTICA 2026 exhibition. The event also marked launching of the Greek AGRITECH Hub.
At the presentation attended representatives of the four Greek AGRITECH project partners and three associated partners, including ΕΛΓΟ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΑ (ELGO-DIMITRA), the project coordinator, ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI (AUTH), SCIENTACT, and OECON GROUP OF COMPANIES, as well as the MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND FOOD, GEOTEE, and EKAGEM. Their participation reflected the strong interest in the project and the close collaboration within the consortium.
This milestone marks the official launch and operation of the Greek educational AGRITECH Hub, laying the groundwork for farmer education and for the promotion of innovative and sustainable practices in the agri-food sector.The Hub will provide a wide range of activities for relevant stakeholders, including workshops, hackathons, mentoring sessions, and enterprise visits.
On International Women’s Day, the AGRITECH project proudly celebrates the achievements, strength, and contribution of women in agriculture, innovation, research, and entrepreneurship.
We recognise the women who drive progress, inspire change, and help shape a more sustainable and inclusive future.
