RootCamp is participating in the Smarterra project, which is funded by the EU and aimed at fostering innovation in Southern Italy's AgriFood sector. 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.
