The cluster

An ecosystem driving innovation in the Canary Islands’ primary sector

01 / Who we are

Connecting to transform.

Our purpose is to turn the sector’s challenges into opportunities that make a real difference for the Canary Islands.

Clúster Agrotech Canarias is a non-profit association bringing together businesses, producers, cooperatives, research centres, universities and public institutions with a shared goal: to promote innovation and collaboration that improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the archipelago’s primary sector.

We serve as a meeting point for the Canary Islands’ agrotech ecosystem, connecting capabilities, identifying opportunities and promoting collaborative projects that accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions across our territory.

Our mission

To act as a catalyst for the Canary Islands’ agricultural innovation ecosystem, facilitating collaboration between its different participants, promoting joint projects and accelerating the transfer and adoption of innovative solutions in the primary sector.

Our vision

To position the Canary Islands as an international benchmark for agricultural innovation in island territories, fostering a connected, dynamic agrotech ecosystem focused on practical solutions that make a difference.

02 / Territory and opportunities

Our vision for the sector

The primary sector is part of the identity, economy and territory of the Canary Islands. Its future is shaped by challenges such as water scarcity, production costs, territorial fragmentation, generational renewal and the need to improve its competitiveness.

At the same time, the archipelago’s distinctive characteristics offer an opportunity to develop and adapt innovative solutions to particularly demanding agricultural conditions.

We believe in a competitive, sustainable and technologically advanced primary sector, where innovation serves people working in agriculture and helps create new business opportunities, knowledge and skilled employment in the Canary Islands.
