Fontagro Annual Operating Plan 2025-2028

FONTAGRO has defined its 2025-2030 Medium-Term Plan, which integrates scientific and technological foresight to 2050 and models of public-private partnerships in research, development and innovation. In parallel, the Knowledge Management and Communication Plan is being updated around four strategic axes — regional space, innovation, impact and evaluation, and external communication — with the gradual incorporation of artificial intelligence tools for results dissemination and impact evaluation. The training programmes in virtual and in-person formats are expected to continue, alongside the strengthening of strategic alliances with international science and science-policy agencies and the completion of a mapping of funding sources to diversify the Fund's resources. The 5th Bioentrepreneurship Innovation Success Cases Contest is expected to select and support ten bioentrepreneurships with the potential to generate 50 to 100 direct jobs and 200 to 500 indirect jobs, 10 to 20 per cent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional processes, and the valorisation of 20 to 30 per cent of agro-industrial residual biomass.
