AgroTechnoPôle

The AgroTechnoPole is an open innovation platform for all players involved in agriculture (industrialists, equipment manufacturers, research laboratories, technical institutes, technological clusters, technical institutes, cooperatives and other forms of associations, etc.), regardless of their size or location, in France or abroad. Its action is to be able to lift the scientific and technological barriers that will be posed by these various actors, to bring them solutions thanks to the ability to mobilize the plural and complementary skills in terms of RESEARCH / ENGINEERING / TESTING / TRAINING from the laboratories of the partner research establishments (INRAE, UCA-CAP20-25, CEA-Tech, CEREMA, VETAGRO-Sup) and/or Innovative Companies with specialized skills (modelling, mechatronics, ...) that are part of its ecosystem. The AgroTechnoPole's main fields of application are agricultural robotics and off-road mobility, control of machine-soil interactions, new low-carbon engines for vehicles and agricultural machines, new alternative weeding techniques, technologies and services for fertilization and seeding machines, and digital tools for decision support and machine control. New structuring research and testing facilities are currently being defined and then implemented (2022-2023) on the AgroTechnoPôle's privileged research and experimentation site represented by the INRAE-Clermont-Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes site in Montoldre (03). By relying on the wealth of networks provided by its Members representing Professional Collectives (composed at the beginning of 2022 of AXEMA, RobAgri, the CIMES & VEGEPOLYS VALLEY Competitiveness Clusters) or its membership of the Carnot Plant2Pro, the AgroTechnoPole has acquired the best means to disseminate its offer
