The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment has drawn up the National Agri-Food and Forestry Innovation and Research Programme to support innovation in the sector. The agri-food sector is facing a crucial challenge for society: the demand for food must be met on a global scale, in an increasingly populated planet subject to the effects of climate change. To meet this challenge, the world markets for food and agricultural products must be supplied, increasing food production, quality and safety, and satisfying consumer needs and demands at reasonable prices.

 

Aim and objectives of the programme

Facilitate and promote the dissemination, participation, communication and transfer of results between the actors in the sector (farmers, producers, researchers, universities, companies, administrations, technology platforms, etc.) and guide them in the innovation process.

Technology Data Analytics
for M&A
Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?
Training Methodology
We have developed training programs in an innovative set-up which guarantees our teams the acquisition of technical competences both in the field of corporate finance and in the field of psychology, that is much needed when it comes to negotiation processes.

Hence, we extend best practices identified internally in an efficient and rapid manner among our members.
