Tech'Agri Challenge

The innovation competition for young people in the agricultural sector

Initiated by Bretagne Développement Innovation, INNOZH and SPACE, aims to encourage young people in training to reflect on concrete agricultural issues and to design technical solutions together to address these issues.

The competition is aimed at agricultural and digital training students and institutions at all levels (vocational bachelor's degree, BTS, bachelor's degree, master's degree, engineer, etc.) who wish to apply their skills to real-life agricultural issues.

Taking part in this challenge gives students from digital training courses the chance to identify job openings and opportunities that they may not have initially thought of. For agricultural students, this exercise allows them to step outside their training environment to imagine, design and test technological solutions in project mode.

6 projects to discover

25 students (a third of them from the digital sector), divided into 6 working groups, have imagined innovative solutions that address real-world agricultural problems. These solutions will be exhibited during the threeday Expo, in a dedicated space.

The teams will present their projects on Tuesday 17 September at 2:00 pm at the Youth Forum. Following the presentations, one winning team per category will be chosen by a panel of professionals.

NEW THIS YEAR

The Tech'Agri Challenge 2024 will focus on two categories:

The Demonstrator category: students will present a prototype based on functional specifications drawn up by agricultural students, in order to verify the relevance of the technological features and solutions selected.

The Ideation category: students will present a problem, contextualize it and define a list of

features to be developed in response to the problem.

2023 winner: “Automated Cornadis” project

The 'Automated Headlock' project, developed by 4 students from ISEN, ESIR and Lycée Kerlebost, was awarded the trophy for the first Tech'Agri Challenge.

This innovative, automated system can be used to remotely set up and control feed fences, to improve the welfare and management of cows on farms.
