CLIMINVEST is joint effort of sustainability experts and finance/investing experts to improve the bankability of climate adaptation solutions. In this direction, the project will develop, integrate and validate tools and techniques that will empower climate adaptation stakeholders to develop “bankable-by-design” (BbD) projects with a positive ROI, including projects that are continually assessed in order to proactively identify and remedy issues that can affect their bankability. Moreover, CLIMINVEST will facilitate private investors to assess them, and to include them in their portfolios and ESG strategies. Based on the project’s BbD framework, local/regional governments and operators of climate-adaptation solutions will greatly benefit from CLIMINVEST techniques and blueprints for developing and deploying bankable solutions that can be integrated with broader projects and deliver co-benefits in conjunction with other climate mitigation efforts. Furthermore, CLIMINVEST will provide investors with risk assessment and ESG reporting tools for projects with climate adaptation elements towards lowering the barriers that hinder their engagement in climatic adaptation projects. CLIMINVEST will develop and offer a marketplace of bankable climate adaptation projects and solutions, which will boost the discoverability of “best practice” solutions, while also facilitating their replication, repurposing and wider use. The project will build a vibrant ecosystem of interested stakeholders around this marketplace, including local/regional governments, sustainability experts, private investors, and policy makers. The project’s platform and associated ecosystem will serve as a basis for the exploitation, sustainability and wider use of the project’s results. In this direction, the project will devise and validate models for the monetization of services of the project’s marketplace.

AgRibot is a groundbreaking project aimed at advancing robotics as well as augmented and extended reality (AR/XR) technologies within the agricultural sector. The projects overarching goal is to achieve a range of critical impacts including: improving working conditions, reducing environmental footprint, addressing workforce shortages, and enhancing overall sustainability and competitiveness. In alignment with strategic initiatives such as the Farm-to-Fork Strategy, the Common Agricultural Policy post-2022, and the broader ambition of embracing the Digital Age, AgRibot is poised to drive a transformative shift toward a fair, safer, and resilient agriculture sector.

GreenFit is a collaborative project uniting research institutions, technology developers, agricultural practitioners, and field actors to tackle the barriers limiting farmers from adopting climate-smart practices. Through a combination of advanced technologies such as AI-powered decision support systems, IoT sensors, and XR-based training tools, GreenFit focuses on optimizing resource use, enhancing decision-making, and building resilience to climate change. The project also promotes value-chain partnerships and strengthens digital infrastructure, ensuring scalability and sustainability. Through the use of real-time tools, including the LLM-based AgriChatbot and a drone-in-a-box system for soil analysis and crop health monitoring, GreenFit empowers farmers with the practical, innovative solutions needed to transition toward sustainable practices. GreenFit focuses on capacity building and community-driven dissemination, communication, and exploitation, as through hands-on training, workshops, and stakeholder engagement, it empowers local communities to adopt and sustain climate-smart practices. The project’s capacity-building program and knowledge-sharing platforms ensure that farmers and rural stakeholders are actively involved in the development process. GreenFit's community-led approach enhances local ownership of solutions, driving sustained environmental and economic benefits.
