TÜV AUSTRIA Hellas undertakes an important initiative to strengthen Greek local agrifood entrepreneurship as a sponsor of the field visits in the business accelerator “AgroAnelixi – Farmers of the Future” of New Agriculture New Generation.
The program is addressed to farmers, livestock breeders, beekeepers, cooperatives, producer groups and small-scale food processors, who aim to improve existing or develop new, high-quality, competitive agrifood products. Businesses that complete the program become more resilient and competitive, thus supporting the local production ecosystem.
The participating businesses attend specialized training workshops, where they acquire practical entrepreneurial knowledge and guidance for creating new, differentiated, and competitive products. They also receive personalized consulting support from experienced market professionals, tailored to their specific needs, without any financial burden.
During the field visits, representatives of New Agriculture New Generation and TÜV AUSTRIA Hellas visit the production units of the participants, with the aim of providing customized training support that responds to the particular needs of each business. Through this process, participants strengthen their knowledge and skills in key areas, ensuring they have the necessary tools to produce high-quality and safe food.
The business accelerator “AgroAnelixi” is implemented by New Agriculture New Generation, through the founding donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). The program is carried out under the auspices of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food.
The program has already supported 100 agrifood businesses across Greece and has contributed to the development and distribution of 90 new products in the Greek and international markets. Businesses that have benefited from their participation become more sustainable and competitive, while strengthening local economies and value chains, thus contributing to the regional development of the country.
The program lasts 6 months and a total of 12 businesses from across Greece are supported.
