The project addresses challenges faced by the region's agricultural industry, particularly in securing funding, which affects startups and scale-ups, especially those led by women.
The project involves collaboration with various European partners, including incubators, accelerators, corporate entities, innovation agencies, and public and private VCs. Led by a consortium of six European partners, including representatives from Italy, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark, Smarterra leverages their expertise to support innovation and growth in the region.

RootCamp is introducing the Bioeconomy Deep Dive Series. This project is funded by the Rentenbank and commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL).
Diminishing resources, climate variability, and evolving customer demands create transformational pressure toward bioeconomy. This dynamic leads to a level of change that cannot be managed through bilateral interaction, as it affects various stakeholders in the value chain. New ways of communication, collaborative engagement, and the implementation of startup innovations are key.
With our Bioeconomy Deep Dives format, we will use the upcoming two years to identify transformational hurdles, pinpoint opportunities, and assess inefficiencies. At innovation gaps, startup solutions are matched with stakeholders, paving the way for the transformation toward a competitive bioeconomy.
Within the project duration of two years (2024-2026), RootCamp will analyze four value chains, assess gaps, and identify innovation opportunities.
You can read more about the project here and follow us on LinkedIn for updates.
We are happy to hear your thoughts and experiences. Please let us know about your ideas.
