Horizon Europe is the 9th framework program for research and innovation of the European Union for the period 2021-2027, with a budget of 95.5 billion euros. Greece ranks 7th in Europe in terms of funding, as more than 500 Greek organizations (research institutions, SMEs, NGOs, etc.) have absorbed 650 million euros, creating tremendous opportunities for the development of innovative products and services. However, the program is extremely competitive, with success rates typically below 10%. Hundreds of thousands of working hours go to waste, as a proposal usually needs to be evaluated with an excellent rating to be funded.
Smart Agro Hub is a private smart farming company that operates as a skills center and spinoff of the Agricultural University of Athens. The company develops smart agriculture products and provides specialized services to the Greek agricultural sector for the past year. Despite its young age, Smart Agro Hub already runs 3 European research programs, securing 1 million euros in funding, and in the last month, it participated in 20 submitted proposals.
