The winning ideas of the BELLA II Ideathon "Innovation of Agrifood Systems in Central America and the Caribbean" will be announced this Monday, 11 March, at 15:00 GMT, after an intense week of work that resulted in the generation and submission of 10 concept notes.
The closing webinar will be broadcast live on RedCLARA's YouTube channel and will be chaired by authorities and representatives of the organizing institutions.
The BELLA II Ideathon "Innovation of Agrifood Systems in Central America and the Caribbean" took place since 29 February, with the objective of stimulating the collaborative generation of ideas and making the agrifood systems of Central America and the Caribbean more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable. The triggering question was how to use the advanced technologies of digital transformation (IoT, AI, advanced computing, 5G, Industry 4.0, Big Data, Web 3.0 and others) to transform agrifood systems and make them more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable in the region.
In the search of this answer, the Ideathon included synchronous and asynchronous sessions that allowed the development of an agenda with training and mentoring spaces for participants and spaces for the construction of the final ideas, as well as simultaneous activities at the opening and closing.
The event was attended by 12 working groups composed of 125 experts from different sectors of the digital ecosystem, including universities, research centers, specialized international organizations, large research infrastructures, among others, from 28 different countries. From Latin America and the Caribbean, experts from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru and Grenada will participate; from North America, the United States; from Europe, Italy and the Netherlands; from Asia, India; and from Africa, Cape Verde, Cameroon, Gambia, Kenya, Mali, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The Ideathon is organized by RedCLARA, the BELLA II project and the European Union, with the support of FAO, GIZ, IICA, LACNET, GÉANT and ESA.
