What is the connection between AgroInsider and INESC TEC?

AgroInsider hired the services of INESC TEC to help achieve a certification in Portuguese Standard 4457 – Research, Development and Innovation Management Systems (RDI).

What are the main results of this collaboration?

AgroInsider is in the final stage of NP 4457 certification. This means greater organisation and systematisation of processes within the company and a better liaison with external partners, in order to channel all knowledge and creativity – leading to Innovation. AgroInsider is a research and consulting company dedicated to Smart Agriculture and Forestry. We have had the opportunity to participate in national and international projects, and to strengthen our position in the market, thanks to the knowledge generated. The increase in the number of projects and partners involved, as well as the company’s improvement in terms of business and number of employees, required a new organisational model.

How do you rate your experience with INESC TEC?

Very enriching in terms of organisational knowledge of the company, considering the RDI. Working with INESC TEC has been extremely productive. Moreover, we have achieved an excellent relationship with the consulting team that supported us, benefiting from advice and presentation of future opportunities.

What do you value the most in this collaboration?

The experience, knowledge, rigour, and availability of the INESC TEC team.

What can we expect from AgroInsider in the upcoming years?

Based on space observation technologies, we develop applications for monitoring and management of agricultural, agroforestry and forestry production. This year, we launched a consulting service for organisations in the agroforestry and environmental sectors. Our service covers the farms production, as well as a solution to address climate change and promote biodiversity.

In the upcoming years, we aim to keep growing in terms of business and opportunities for Innovation. We are a company that was born from Research, developing unique technologies, but we believe that technology alone does not solve the problems we face: personalised support and evaluation of individual cases is vital. The work carried out with the INESC TEC team favoured a different outlook on the generation flow of innovations to the market.
