At the heart of the AGRO-WELL project lies a powerful alliance of technology-driven institutions and companies. These technical partners are the engines behind the innovative tools and systems that will reshape how agriculture addresses safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Their collective expertise in robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and smart farming technologies is vital to the project’s success.


Who Are AGRO-WELL’s Technical Partners?


AU's Department of Engineering leads advanced research in biosystems and industrial production technologies. The Operations Management unit focuses on precision treatments, data-driven farming systems, and digital tools for traceability and sustainability evaluation. AU ensures that the technological solutions are scientifically robust and practically viable.

As pioneers in transforming food and agricultural systems into circular bioeconomies, ATB contributes technical expertise in intelligent automation and adaptive control systems. Their integration strategies ensure AGRO-WELL’s technologies are not only innovative but also scalable across diverse agricultural sectors.

CyRIC, Cyprus

CyRIC is developing the Smart Trap, a cutting-edge IoT device for pest monitoring that utilizes AI and sensor fusion. Their work addresses one of the key agricultural challenges—pest management—while minimizing environmental impact and labor intensity.

up2metric, Greece

This innovative studio is tasked with developing the AGRO-WELL Augmented Reality (AR) application, which will overlay vital agricultural data directly into the farmer’s visual field. This hands-free interaction helps farmers make informed decisions in real time, improving safety and productivity on the spot.

Specializing in robotics, automation, and software systems, iKnowHow brings robust industrial know-how to the agri-tech space. Their role involves developing automated and intelligent systems that ease labor burdens and support workplace safety in demanding farm environments.

AG Precision, Denmark

With a strong background in precision agriculture, AG Precision delivers high-tech steering, navigation, planting, and data solutions that integrate seamlessly into AGRO-WELL’s framework. Their systems support the green transition by increasing precision and reducing inputs.

Why Their Role Matters?

These technical partners are not just building tools—they are transforming the way agriculture operates:

  • Improved Occupational Safety: Automation and AR reduce repetitive strain and exposure to hazards.

  • Increased Sustainability: Smart monitoring and precision systems optimize resource use.

  • User-Centered Design: Farmers are involved in testing and feedback, ensuring solutions meet real-world needs.

  • Scalable and Replicable Solutions: The technologies developed are designed to be adaptable across different types of farming (open field, orchards, livestock, greenhouses).


AGRO-WELL’s technical partners are the backbone of its innovation strategy. Through their cutting-edge work, the project aims not only to support farmers but also to lead European agriculture into a smarter, safer, and more sustainable future.
