Spoke 7 arrives at “We Make Future” 2025 thanks to Polo Agrifood

Innovation and sustainability at the center of the scene

From June 4 to 6, Bologna hosted the 2025 edition of We Make Future (WMF), the most important International Fair dedicated to Artificial Intelligence, Technology and Digital Innovation. An event that every year attracts thousands of visitors, startups, companies and stakeholders from all over the world, transforming the Emilian capital into a hub of future and transformation.

In this vibrant and highly innovative context, the Polo Agrifood, a point of reference for Spoke 7 of the NODES – Digital and Sustainable North West project, also played a leading role, thanks to the participation of some companies linked to the spoke dedicated specifically to Agrifood.

During the three days of the fair, in the Polo Agrifood space, the companies of Spoke 7 had the opportunity to present their products and the results of the Proof of Concept (POC) developed as part of the NODES project. The solutions presented range from precision agriculture to the use of AI for food traceability, up to innovations in agri-food processing based on sustainability and efficiency.

The initiative represented an important showcase for the agri-food sector of the North-West, demonstrating how the integration between digital and tradition can generate value, improve the competitiveness of companies and contribute to environmental and social sustainability objectives. Participation in WMF is part of the enhancement and technology transfer path promoted by NODES, confirming the Agrifood Hub's commitment to networking and bringing innovation directly to the field, in dialogue with companies, researchers and investors.
