ABOUT
point (e.g. of a statement)
Scientific and technological "seeds" are being created in universities, research institutes, and corporate laboratories, but it takes a lot of effort before they sprout into practical applications. The "Tech Planter," organized by LIVERNESS and its partners, is an ecosystem that aims to serve as a planter to discover these seeds and help them sprout into business. The Agri-Tech Grand Prix is a program aimed at discovering and fostering technological seeds and entrepreneurs in the real tech field (food, agriculture, environment, water resources, biomass, etc.).
