WIRELESSINFO

Their core work

WIRELESSINFO is a Czech research centre specializing in digital technologies for agriculture, with deep expertise in IoT-based smart farming, precision agriculture data systems, and food chain digitalization. They build and deploy ICT infrastructure — sensors, data platforms, and decision-support tools — that help farmers and agri-food businesses adopt data-driven practices. Their work spans the full chain from earth observation and microclimate management to food safety monitoring and short supply chain innovation, consistently bridging the gap between digital technology and practical agricultural use.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their earlier H2020 projects (2016–2018), WIRELESSINFO focused on foundational smart farming topics: IoT deployment in agri-food chains, short supply chain innovation, and knowledge-driven agriculture with a strong field-level technology orientation. From 2018 onward, their focus shifted toward ecosystem-level digital agriculture — Digital Innovation Hubs, open calls for innovation experiments, competence centers, and food safety digitalization. This evolution shows a move from building individual farm-tech solutions to orchestrating broader digital transformation infrastructure for the European agri-food sector.

WIRELESSINFO is moving from hands-on precision farming technology toward coordinating digital innovation infrastructure and food safety systems — expect them to be strong partners for Digital Innovation Hub and farm-to-fork digitalization proposals.

How they like to work

WIRELESSINFO operates exclusively as a project participant, never as coordinator, which positions them as a reliable technical contributor rather than a project driver. With 301 unique partners across 34 countries from just 9 projects, they consistently join large-scale consortia (IoF2020, SmartAgriHubs, and STARGATE are all multi-partner flagship initiatives). This means they are well-connected, easy to integrate into big teams, and experienced at delivering defined work packages within complex coordination structures.

Remarkably broad network for their size: 301 unique consortium partners across 34 countries, built through participation in several large-scale flagship projects. Their network is pan-European with no single geographic concentration, giving them contacts across virtually all EU member states.

What sets them apart

WIRELESSINFO occupies a distinctive niche as a Czech research centre that combines ICT/wireless technology expertise with deep agricultural domain knowledge — a combination that is rare outside Western European institutes. Their participation in both technology-infrastructure projects (EUXDAT, EO4AGRI) and applied agri-food projects (SmartAgriHubs, DiTECT) means they can bridge the gap between data platform engineers and farming practitioners. For consortium builders, they offer a Central European node with proven delivery in large-scale pilots and Digital Innovation Hub frameworks.

Highlights from their portfolio

• EUXDAT
  Their largest single EC contribution (EUR 339,375) — a major data analytics infrastructure project connecting extreme-scale computing to sustainable development applications including agriculture.
• SmartAgriHubs
  A flagship Digital Innovation Hub project for European agriculture digitalization, with open calls and competence centers — demonstrates WIRELESSINFO's role in building innovation ecosystems, not just technology.
• DiTECT
  Their most recent project (2020–2024), focused on digital food safety — signals their strategic direction toward food chain integrity and traceability technologies.
