Innovation
Innovation in the agri-food sector is a central priority in the European Research and Innovation agenda. Flagship programmes such as Horizon Europe, the Digital Europe Programme, and the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI) play a key role in fostering sustainable and resilient farming.
As a technology leader, the agricultural machinery industry contributes to EU R&I projects and pan-European initiatives, advancing precision and digital farming, automation, data-driven agriculture, and alternative energy solutions. The sector bridges academic research, practical farming, and the evolving needs of farmers ensuring that innovations are scalable, practical, and aligned with EU sustainability goals.
Through strategic partnerships and cross-sector collaboration, the industry gains valuable insight into the diverse agricultural contexts, helping deliver tailored solutions for farms of all sizes across Europe and beyond. This dynamic exchange between research, industry, and end-users enables the effective uptake of cutting-edge technologies, supporting the digital and green transitions set out in the Farm to Fork Strategy, the European Green Deal, and the Competitiveness Compass.
