Center for Innovation and Business Development

Project Aim: KATANA is dedicated to supporting European SMEs and start-ups along the agri-food value chain to access knowledge, technology, capital, and markets in order to respond to the global competitive environment in the agri-food sector.
&nbsp;
About the project: “KATANA &#8211; Emerging industries as key enablers for the adoption of advanced technologies in the agrifood sector” supports European SMEs in the agrifood value chain to simultaneously access knowledge, technology, capital, and markets in order to respond to the global competitive environment. KATANA aims to provide this access to companies by leveraging upon the multiplier potential of cross-border/cross-sectoral collaboration and the systemic approach which homogenizes services towards the overall aim to place new products/ services in the market.
&nbsp;
KATANA proposes a systemic approach by combining (i) an innovative selection and funding scheme based on peer to peer evaluation and crowdfunding; (ii) a holistic portfolio of support services covering the entire KATANA lifecycle and (iii) three large scale demonstrators capitalizing upon emerging industries (eco-industries, mobile services and personalized health).
&nbsp;
KATANA is a cluster-driven project, bringing together 7 active clusters of SMEs from all over Europe (from Scandinavia to Mediterranean and Balkans) covering the entire ecosystem, namely agriculture, food production and ICT/ emerging industries. At the same time a diverse and strong presence of five SMEs – technology providers within the consortium will guarantee that the technological infrastructure for the large-scale demonstrators will be delivered by actors who understand the needs of the community. The innovative selection method and the corresponding algorithms will be provided by an RTD organization with long experience in organizing and running Open Calls and competitions for SMEs.

Launch your AgTech idea!

BioSense Accelerator is an intensive 3-month program that targets early-stage AgTech startups and acts as a bridge between science and business. It is an excellent opportunity for startups to bring their bold AgTech ideas to life, grow, fast track their journey, and solve key challenges in the agrifood sector. The accelerator is the only one in the country that provides support to domestic and regional IT entrepreneurs focused on creating innovative and groundbreaking digital solutions for agriculture.
&nbsp;
The first batch of BioSense Accelerator started in October 2019 and over the course of three months that were jam-packed with interactive workshops and bespoke trainings, 8 teams mastered multiple skills: how to develop a business idea, define a business model, identify the needs of future users and conduct detailed analysis of the market and competition. Top-notch tech and business support, as well as guidance from industry and technology experts brought startups and their ideas to the next level. In the second batch (2020), we are joining forces with EFSE Fund and the best B2B accelerator in Europe, Startup Wise Guys.
&nbsp;
Besides a comprehensive support, BioSense Accelerator has given the teams a get-ready guide for fundraising, and startups that participated in the first batch raised 140K Euros over a period of six months.
&nbsp;
The idea of BioSense Accelerator is to boost entrepreneurial mentality in our country and subsequently, that will lead to economic growth and development. The goal is also to motivate regional IT entrepreneurs to be bold and create their own products.

Dr Nataša Ljubičić, naučni saradnik, doktorirala je na Poljoprivrednom fakultetu, u Novom Sadu u oblasti Biotehničkih nauka i užoj naučnoj oblasti Genetika i oplemenjivanje biljaka. Magistarsku tezu pod nazivom: ”Multivarijaciona analiza genotipova pšenice gajenih na meliorisanom solonjecu”, kao i diplomski rad iz predmeta Pedologija, odbranila je na Poljoprivrednom fakultetu, u Novom Sadu. Dr Nataša Ljubičić je angažovana u svojstvu naučnog saradnika u okviru Centra za biosisteme, Instituta BioSens u Novom Sadu. Oblast istraživanja obuhvata primenu inovativne i pametne tehnologije u službi povećanja prinosa glavnih poljoprivrenih kultura i pre svega unapređenja poljoprivredne proizvodnje. Istraživanja obuhvataju praćenje fenotipske stabilnosti osobina različitih genotipova pšenice, kukuruza i drugih poljoprivrednih kultura u različitim agroekološkim uslovima, kao i procenu interakcije genotip/spoljna sredina kao različit odgovor biljke na različite uslove sredine. U istraživanjima, fenotipska varijabilnost je praćena merenjem spektralnog odziva biljaka, gde se primenom aktivnih i pasivnih senzora izračunava više od 40 različitih vegetacionih, tj. spektralnih indeksa. Ovakvo udruživanje podataka doprinosi razvoju metoda za procenu stanja biljaka pre vidljivih simptoma i daje smernicu za unapređenje tehnologije proizvodnje, a pre svega maksimalnom iskorišćavanju rodnosti ispitivanih genotipova za područja istih ili sličnih agroekoloških uslova. Pored odabira adekvatnih vegetacionih indeksa, definišu se mere koje pogoduju ili eventualno štete proizvodnji useva za određene lokalitete.
