As CEMA previously announced, the Stakeholder Event organized on the 1-2 of March has set the stage for the initial discussion for the €5 million IoF2020 Open Call that will be launched in the second half of 2018. For more information, please click here.

  • Update on the upcoming Open Call!!!

The main objective of the Open Call is to increase the scale and impact of the IoF2020 initiative: for doing so, the Open Call will allow new use case teams to join the IoF2020 team, thus making precision farming a reality.

The Open Call is looking for highly impactful and market-ready IoT innovations that will be validated and demonstrated addressing two challenges:

  1. Developing IoT use cases in new regions.
  2. Adding post-farm use cases and other sectors to the IoF2020 ecosystem.

The total available budget is of €5 million: proposals focusing on one challenge are eligible for costs up to 300k€, and proposals covering both challenges up to 500k€. For more information, please read the Open Call announcement on the IoF2020 website.

Date for official launch: 5 June 2018 during the IoT Week in Bilbao. Jérôme Bandry, CEMA Secretary General, will also be there as a keynote speaker.
