Abstract
Moving from a Death Valley to a Cape of Good Hope, technology transfer is still a critical and complex step in the innovation process. Similarly, technology adoption is also a critical and challenging step.
Having this in mind, INESC TEC created in 2014 TEC4AGRO-FOOD, its Initiative for Agro-Food and Forestry. TEC4AGRO-FOOD is a new organisational approach aiming at structuring the market-pull innovation process, as opposed to the science-push that occurs naturally in INESC TEC’s Research & Development Centres, supporting the establishment of the adequate balance between the two opposing motivations and the full knowledge-to-value chain. TEC4AGRO-FOOD’s mission is co-shaping the digital (r)evolution in agro-food and forestry through research and technological development in digital technologies and robotics for the creation of long-term value for INESC TEC from customers, markets, and relationships.
