The Fundación Instituto Ricardo Valle de Innovación held its second Board of Trustees meeting since its constitution, with the incorporation of Trops, which inaugurates the Agrotech area, a new area of work whose vice-presidency is assumed by Enrique Colilles, general manager of the avocado and mango company from Málaga.
Trops carries out numerous research and innovation projects, as well as investing in technology along the entire agri-food chain in mango and avocado cultivation, a contribution that will be of great help to the area that Colilles will lead at the Foundation.
The actions that Agrotech intends to carry out include the areas of Precision Agriculture: Decision Support Systems; New Technologies in the Agri-Food Industry and Circular Economy in the Agri-Food Chain
This area completes all the areas already defined: Microelectronics, Cybersecurity, Circular Economy, Aerospace Systems, 5G, Artificial Intelligence, Electric and Connected Vehicle, University-Business Collaboration, Digital Health and Collaboration with Málaga TechPark.
Furthermore, the new General Manager of Innova IRV, Francisca Rubio, and the new CTO, Mario Nemirovsky, were introduced to the trustees at the meeting.
