Research and Innovation Brokerage
Identifying innovations, adapting them to local realities, scaling them up — for stronger and more sustainable value chains.
COLEAD's Research and Innovation Brokerage department identifies, adapts and disseminates the agronomic and technological innovations most useful to agri-food value chains. Our three-step approach — monitor, adapt, share — relies on thematic prioritisation (5 priority themes, ~20 crops), field trials (~300 since 2004) and scientific data production.
A brokering mission — connecting researchers, technology providers and businesses — to catalyse innovation and support the transition to sustainable food systems. Serving MSMEs, researchers, authorities and technology owners — wherever they are.
Watch over needs, policies, innovative solutions and market access conditions.
