We are looking to join a PRIMA 2026 consortium (Section 1 or Section 2) on Topic 2.2.1 (ICT monitoring and control against disease and pest infestation) and/or Topic 2.3.1 (digital traceability for Mediterranean food value chains). Innovacal can contribute: (1) a living-lab network of commercial greenhouses and farms in Almeria for field validation and demonstration of sensing, monitoring and traceability solutions; (2) multi-actor stakeholder engagement and co-definition of needs with our 80+ member companies (irrigation, climate control, sensors, agri-food processing, logistics); (3) dissemination, training and multiplier activities towards the agri-food sector in South-East Spain. We are open to a partner or associated-partner role and welcome contact from coordinators still completing their consortium ahead of the 2026 call deadlines.
