CETEM and Inwire train AMPY in smart farming for small farms

On Thursday 12 and Friday 13 June, CETEM will open its doors to an initiative that connects technology, sustainability and rural development. This is one of the training pilots of the European project NewEcoSmart (NES), an ambitious initiative that seeks to revitalise European rural communities through innovative and sustainable solutions.

On this occasion, the protagonist will be the company Inwire S.L., winner of the NES call in Spain with its project ‘AGRIoT: Smart AgriTech Training for IoT-Enabled Agriculture in Small Farms’, a proposal that uses Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to improve the performance and efficiency of agriculture in small farms.
During the two days, the Inwire team will offer practical training at the CETEM facilities, aimed at AMPY students, who will be taught how to implement an IoT system to optimise cultivation in their organic garden. One more step towards the transformation of the countryside, where technology becomes an ally.

This training is not only practical, but also symbolic: it shows that the ecological and digital transition is not exclusive to large urban centres or large companies, but can and must also be extended to the rural environment. And this is precisely the spirit of the NES project, which offers real and applicable solutions for a fairer, more inclusive and sustainable territorial development.

The pilot in CETEM is part of the Open Call of the NES project, a call that has offered grants of up to 16,500 euros in three pilot countries (Spain, Portugal and Italy), to test innovative projects with tangible impact in rural communities.

NES is especially focused on adults over 45, SMEs and micro-enterprises, promoting digital and green competences, circular business models and social innovation dynamics.

With initiatives like this, CETEM reinforces its commitment to knowledge and technology transfer, bringing innovation closer to those who need it most.
