Background information
Aim
We work together to create a new generation of open innovations which will be readily used, and which will bring benefits across the entire value-chain. As a meeting place for all relevant stakeholders, we have established PA4ALL – the Living lab for precision agriculture.
Established in 2013 PA4ALL is the first living lab in Serbia and the first one focusing on precision agriculture today. PA4ALL takes full advantage of inter-sectoral cross-fertilization of ideas and offers possibilities to test ideas and prototypes in the real-world setting.
Funding structure
