The Agtech Sweden initiative aims to establish an innovation environment for tomorrow's agriculture, with a focus on sensors, digital technology, AI and the Internet of Things.

The Agtech Sweden initiative (formerly Agtech 2030), which will contribute to making Sweden a world leader in selected agricultural technology areas, is a Vinnv盲xt program. The timetable is 10 years and the planned budget is around SEK 200 million.

The initiative is currently backed by about 100 different organizations, including Region 脰sterg枚tland, Hush氓llningss盲llskapet, Vreta Kluster, Link枚ping Science Park, Visual Sweden and Agro脰st. Link枚ping University and the Department of Economic and Industrial Development (IEI) is the initiative's host organization.

The aim is to create an inclusive innovation environment that generates significant technology, business and competence development and new knowledge in agricultural technology. The focus is on new concepts based on e.g. sensors, digital technology and mechanics but also on new collaborations and ways of doing business.

Vision

In 2030, Östergötland and neighboring areas will be one of the world's most prominent regions in agricultural technology - agtech. The region distinguishes itself by attracting a high proportion of global investments in agriculture-related technology, successful start-ups, applied cutting-edge research in close networks between research institutions and industry, large-scale tech companies with international successes, high-tech and high-yielding agricultural companies that contribute to solving global sustainability goals through the use of disruptive technology and new business models - and a public sector that accelerates innovations and contributes to sustainable development through far-sighted action. The vision includes new ways processing grain products (close to primary production) as well as technological cross-linking with, for example, the forestry industry.


The vision is achieved by creating a unique, strong, inclusive and equal innovation environment that manages to gather resources and competencies that reflect a number of regionally distinctive strengths. Östergötland is a favorable platform due to its position as one of Sweden's strongest agricultural regions in combination with the region's weight in research on innovation, technology, sustainable development and management as well as through industrial capacity.
