Introducing Agriventures Projects: A new home for our Innovation portfolio
Image

We're excited to announce the launch of AgriVentures Projects - a dedicated space where you can follow the EU-funded initiatives, partnerships, and field pilots that AgriVentures is driving across the agrifood sector.

Until now, our work on individual projects lived scattered across updates and case studies. Projects brings it all together in one portfolio, so startups, farmers, researchers, and partners can see exactly how AgriVentures turns funding into real-world impact.

What you'll find there

A live project portfolio.

 Projects currently showcases six active and completed initiatives spanning the issues shaping European agriculture today:

  • Agrodigirise - digital farming, co-financed under the EU's Digital Europe Programme

  • Sysarm - farmer training, supported through Erasmus+

  • Circular Voices - circular economy storytelling, backed by the CFS Network and the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases

  • Safe-Agri - a security assessment framework for agrifood innovation, EU co-funded

  • TrueFoods - post-harvest sustainability, equity, and resilience work spanning eight countries

  • Foodity SEBP - a sustainable employee benefits platform for responsible consumption

Each project page details its funding source, focus area, and status, so you can quickly see who's behind it and where it stands.

Our innovation model, laid out clearly. Projects also explains how AgriVentures moves ideas from concept to field validation, in three stages: Discovery, where we screen teams and define pilot scope; Funding & Mentoring, where cascade funding and expert guidance kick in; and Living Lab Pilot, where solutions get tested on real farms with measurable results.

A growing ecosystem map. The new Living Labs section maps the farms, members, and partners that make up the AgriVentures network - a resource that will keep expanding as more members join.

The latest from our community. A live feed pulls in our most recent LinkedIn updates, so you can catch member spotlights, policy briefs, and event highlights without leaving the page.

The role of Agriventures in supporting agrifood innovation

As the agritech startup ecosystem grows across Europe, initiatives such as Agriventures are helping connect entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and policymakers working in agriculture and food innovation.

Agriventures focuses on supporting agrifood startups, biotechnology innovation, and access to European funding for agriculture, while also helping entrepreneurs navigate the complex landscape of startup financing, venture capital, and research commercialization.

By strengthening connections between startups, research institutions, investors, and farmers, Agriventures contributes to building a stronger agricultural innovation ecosystem that can accelerate the transition toward sustainable agriculture and resilient food systems.
Through knowledge sharing, events, and ecosystem building, Agriventures helps ensure that promising agritech innovations can scale and reach farmers, food producers, and global markets.

Where Agrifood Biotech and Research Funding Is Actually Going in 2026

Basic research doesn't fund itself, and in agrifood, the gap between a promising lab result and a fundable project often comes down to knowing which of a dozen overlapping EU programmes to approach first. Food safety science, biotech platforms, and multi-country research consortia each follow their own funding logic, and 2026 has brought fresh calls across all three. Two Live Examples Worth Studying Safe-Agri, one of AgriVentures' active projects, is reinforcing the security assessment...

VerAgro launches a free self-assessment to help farms measure - and improve - their sustainability

A New Door Is Opening for Bulgarian Farmers and Agri-Innovators - And It's Fully Funded

For years, the biggest barrier between Bulgarian agriculture and Europe's most advanced farms hasn't been ambition. It's been access — to the right rooms, the right people, and the budget to get there. AgriVentures' new Missions program was built to remove exactly that barrier, and it does it in a way few programs in the region ever have: by covering the full cost of getting Bulgarian farmers, entrepreneurs, scientists, and companies in front of Europe's leading agri-food innovators. If you...

Understanding Biomass Flows in Europe: A €6M Horizon Europe Call Agrifood Founders Shouldn't Miss

A question we've been getting a lot lately, including from our own LinkedIn community, is some version of: "Can my startup actually apply for this, and how?" This time it's about Understanding biomass flows in Europe (HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-CIRCBIO-05), a Horizon Europe call with a total budget of €6,000,000 that opened on 17 April 2026 and closes on 17 September 2026. It's exactly the kind of opportunity worth breaking down properly, because the honest answer is "yes, but not the way most...
