CNTA, through its EATEX Food Innovation Hub, acts as the managing body of Spain’s AgriFoodTech Sandbox. In this role, it designs, implements and coordinates the Sandbox’s activities, builds the collaboration ecosystem and provides the scientific-technical capabilities, specialized expertise and infrastructure required for effective experimentation.
Depending on the needs of each project, other technology centers, research organizations and external experts may be integrated to reinforce an open, collaborative model aimed at generating solid evidence and regulatory learnings.
Spain’s AgriFoodTech Sandbox is possible thanks to…
Spain’s AgriFoodTech Sandbox is an initiative promoted by the Government of Spain’s Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MICIU), the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA), and the Regional Governments of Navarra and La Rioja, together with CNTA.
These public administrations provide institutional support, funding and strategic direction for the Sandbox, and help ensure that the learnings generated are connected to the competent regulatory authorities.
