Agtech Sweden is a national innovation platform for agricultural technology. We bring together farmers, researchers, and technology companies to create sustainable and efficient solutions for the agriculture of tomorrow.
Our vision
Our vision is to make Sweden one of the world’s leading hubs for agricultural technology by creating an inclusive, dynamic, and cross-disciplinary innovation environment that strengthens the entire agtech value chain — from idea to implementation, from local to global impact.
We also conduct trend analyses, produce insight reports, and provide networking opportunities across industry, academia, and policy.
Key focus areas
Despite the broad range of activities, there are some key focus areas:
• Sensors and IoT: Real-time monitoring for smarter decision-making
• Digitalization and AI: Data-driven agriculture for efficiency and sustainability
• Visualization and imaging technologies
• Precision tools for crop and livestock management
• Energy and climate solutions: Sustainable systems for reduced environmental impact
• Business models and collaboration
• Strengthening the innovation ecosystem through new partnerships.<
Besides these, we also work in areas such as mechanics, mechatronics, chemistry and biology.
Examples of innovation projects
Each innovation project has its own value and relevance, but here are a few examples:
• Robots for indoor and field work
• Drone systems
• Sensor and satellite systems with spectral imaging for precision farming
• AI and sensor technologies for animal monitoring
• Farm-level energy production and storage systems
Most projects are hosted directly by Agtech Sweden, but we are also a partner in many external projects.
