AGRINEWTECH SRL

Their core work

AGRINEWTECH SRL is a Torino-based agri-tech SME specialising in integrated pest management (IPM) and the control of invasive alien species in agricultural contexts. Their H2020 work focuses on practical, field-applicable solutions for reducing crop losses caused by pests and non-native species — work that sits at the intersection of agronomy, plant protection, and sustainable agriculture. Both EU projects they joined were Research and Innovation Actions, suggesting they contribute applied know-how alongside academic partners rather than purely desk-based consulting. Their participation in an EU-China demonstration project (EUCLID) indicates experience taking IPM methods from research into real-world field demonstration.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

AGRINEWTECH's entire H2020 record consists of two projects that both started in 2015, making it impossible to track a meaningful shift in focus over time — their profile is a single snapshot rather than a trajectory. Both projects address pest and invasive species management, so their thematic focus has been consistent rather than evolving. No keyword data is available to refine this picture further, and no projects appear after 2015 in the H2020 record, which may indicate they shifted activity outside the EU framework or reduced their EU project participation after this initial engagement.

With both projects originating in 2015 and no later H2020 activity visible, AGRINEWTECH's trajectory within EU-funded research is unclear — a potential collaborator should verify whether they remain active in IPM research or have pivoted to purely commercial activity.

How they like to work

AGRINEWTECH has exclusively joined projects as a participant, never leading a consortium, which positions them as a specialist contributor rather than a project driver. Despite only two projects, they accumulated 36 unique partners across 12 countries — an unusually broad network for such a small portfolio, suggesting they were embedded in large, multi-partner RIA consortia. This profile is typical of an SME that brings field-level or industry know-how to research consortia where universities and institutes handle coordination.

AGRINEWTECH has collaborated with 36 distinct partners spanning 12 countries, a wide reach given only two projects — both were large Research and Innovation Actions with international consortia. Their participation in EUCLID, which connects EU and Chinese partners, suggests their network extends beyond Europe.

What sets them apart

AGRINEWTECH is a rare Italian private SME with hands-on experience in both invasive species management and international IPM demonstration — a combination that is more typically found in research institutes or large agri-chemical companies. Their location in Torino, a northern Italian industrial and agri-tech hub, combined with their EU-China project experience, makes them a credible bridge between applied field practice and international technology transfer. For a consortium builder needing an industry voice in crop protection or invasive species work, they offer practical grounding without the overhead of a large corporate partner.

Highlights from their portfolio

• EUCLID
  The largest of their two grants (EUR 230,000) and the only one with an explicit intercontinental dimension, linking EU and Chinese IPM practitioners in a live demonstration programme.
• EMPHASIS
  Addresses the economically significant threat of harmful alien species to European agriculture, a topic of growing regulatory and commercial urgency under EU biodiversity and farm-to-fork policy.
