B-FERST project (their largest at EUR 257,806) focused on bio-based fertilising products, biostimulants, nutrients, and soil conditioning for sustainable agriculture.
AG FUTURA TECHNOLOGII DOOEL SKOPJE
North Macedonian technology SME specializing in sustainable agriculture, bio-based fertilisers, food system digitalization, and rural development tools.
Their core work
AG Futura Technologies is a North Macedonian SME working at the intersection of sustainable agriculture, bio-based products, and food system innovation. They contribute to projects developing bio-based fertilisers and biostimulants for industrial-scale agricultural use, as well as digital tools for rural policy development and resilient urban-regional food systems. Their work spans from soil health and nutrient management to blockchain-enabled short food supply chains, suggesting a technology-oriented company that brings digital and business development capabilities to agri-food research consortia.
What they specialise in
CITIES2030 project addressed city-region food systems, short food supply chains, and food security using nature-based solutions and blockchain technology.
PoliRural project applied text mining to support future-oriented rural policy development for agriculture and farming communities.
B-FERST project keywords include logistics, business plan, and industrial upscaling of bio-based value chains, suggesting a commercialization role.
CITIES2030 project explicitly included blockchain technology as a tool for food system resilience and supply chain transparency.
How they've shifted over time
AG Futura's H2020 participation spans only 2019–2020 (start dates), so the evolution window is narrow. Their earlier involvement (B-FERST, 2019) centred on industrial-scale bio-based products — fertilisers, biostimulants, and supply chain logistics. Their more recent entry (CITIES2030, 2020) shifted toward broader food system resilience, incorporating digital technologies like blockchain and concepts like nature-based solutions and ecosystem services, suggesting a move from product-focused agricultural work toward systemic food innovation.
They appear to be expanding from agricultural product development toward digitally-enabled, systems-level food and rural innovation — a direction that aligns well with the EU Farm-to-Fork and Food 2030 agendas.
How they like to work
AG Futura operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never as coordinator, which is typical for a small SME from a Widening country like North Macedonia. With 94 unique partners across 27 countries from just 3 projects, they join large, diverse consortia (averaging 30+ partners per project). This suggests they are comfortable operating in big international teams and likely contribute a specific skill set — possibly business development, local piloting, or digital tool development — rather than driving research agendas.
Despite only 3 projects, AG Futura has built a remarkably broad network of 94 partners across 27 countries, reflecting the large-scale Innovation Action and RIA consortia they participate in. Their reach spans nearly all of Europe, though their geographic base in North Macedonia may position them as a valuable partner for Balkan or Widening-country engagement.
What sets them apart
As a technology SME from North Macedonia, AG Futura offers consortium builders a relatively rare combination: Widening-country participation (beneficial for proposal scoring) paired with genuine agri-food and digital expertise. Their involvement in both product-level work (bio-based fertilisers) and system-level innovation (food systems, blockchain, rural policy) makes them versatile. For coordinators building Food or Environment proposals, they bring both a Southeast European perspective and practical business development capabilities.
Highlights from their portfolio
- B-FERSTTheir largest project by far (EUR 257,806), focused on scaling bio-based fertilisers to market — an Innovation Action with clear commercial intent.
- CITIES2030Ambitious food system project combining nature-based solutions with blockchain technology, running until 2024 and aligned with the EU Food 2030 vision.
- PoliRuralApplied text mining and data-driven methods to rural policy, showing the company's digital and analytical capabilities beyond pure agriculture.
