Experts on Experimenting. Programs and policies from the Netherlands, Germany and France to speed up automatization in agriculture

The Netherlands, Germany and France face similar challenges when it comes to automatization in agriculture. Examples are challenges around investment risks for farmers, high complexity of the systems and, consequently, proper know-how to operate the new technology. What do the Netherlands, Germany and France do to tackle these challenges and speed up digitalization in agriculture? What are the opportunities for collaboration?

16:30 - 16:35 Welcome by moderator 
16:35 - 17:00 Introduction German, French and Dutch on existing (or planned) policies and programs on robotization (and AI) in agriculture 
Presentations about the countries' innovation stimulating programs and policies in agriculture. Dutch-German-French policy panel on implementing innovations in agriculture. 
Visions on cross-border collabortions, what are the challanges and opportunities?

Dutch robotics & artificial intelligence in practice: How the Netherlands is using technology for sustainable agriculture and overcoming labour shortages.

No doubt that AI is changing agriculture. It is instrumental in making the most out of field data and crop models, and it is enabling advanced robotic applications. It is helping farmers to tackle societal challenges around sustainability (weeding robots replacing chemicals) and labour shortages (autonomous systems for harvesting, monitoring, sorting, etc.).  

During this session several innovative startups and scaleups will present their systems and reflect on the developments and adoption in daily farm operations.
