oversea This is the presentation on understanding the SmartAgriHubs project that I gave at the kick-off event in Prague, Czech Republic on the 5th of March 2019. It starts with the background of the Digital Transformation that is going on in the Agri-Food sector. Then the objective is decribed followed by the 5 basic concepts that are the basis of this project: Digital Innovation Hubs, Innovation Expriments, Competence Centers, Innovation Portal and the Innovation Services Maturity Model. Next, the project approach and work package structure are explained. The presentation is concluded by the most important KPIs and numbers of the project.

Editor's Notes
- In this example WUR as a whole acts as a DIH delivering several services that orchestrate various players outside the DIH. Ultimately, this should result in newly, funded Innovation Experiments, where several of these players are collaborating on digital innovations. WDCC delivers various competences within the WUR-DIH to (i) facilitate the orchestration process, (ii) setup an innovation experiment and (iii) execute innovation experiments An example: A bright start-up has a splendid data-driven product that is expected to help farmers to improve crop disease management. However, it is still a prototype that needs to be upgraded to a real, marketable product in an innovation experiment. They knock on the door of the WUR-DIH for help. WUR-DIH uses its network of farmers and cooperatives to get end-users interested to experiment and validate the product. There’s a also a need for an appropriate data infrastructure that is robust and compliant with the state-of-the-art security standards. WDCC brings in their knowledge and network of (large) ICT companies to advise on the right infrastructure and helps to choose (i). WUR-DIH also does matchmaking in their network of public and private funders to find the financial resources to carry out the innovation experiment. They help the start-up and the established multi-actor network to write a high-quality project plan. This plan requires a good data management plan. WDCC is delivering a services to write a good data management plan (ii). Finally the innovation experiment is conducted and WDCC helps to analyse the data by connecting the right data scientists from WUR to the innovation experiment (iii) Potentially, WDCC can also have this function for other DIHs in the whole SmartAgriHubs network of DIHs, as other competence centers can also be involved in the WUR-DIH.
