O papel das Instituições de Ciência e Tecnologia e Agtechs na transformação digital da Agricultura no Brasil

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

RESUMO

O agronegócio brasileiro vem se modernizando pela intensa adoção de tecnologias, com aumento de produtividade e redução de riscos. Mais recentemente, observa-se um crescente aumento no uso das tecnologias digitais no campo, fazendo emergir a chamada Agricultura Digital. Neste contexto, este artigo apresenta o Programa de Aceleração de startups, denominado TechStart Agro Digital, uma iniciativa da Embrapa Informática Agropecuária e da aceleradora Venture Hub com o apoio de vários atores do ecossistema de inovação agrícola. Este trabalho apresenta a metodologia de aceleração tecnológica e de negócios com foco no agronegócio, proposta pelas duas instituições, ilustrando sua aplicação no primeiro ciclo do programa em 2019. Os resultados demonstram que as 11 startups graduadas no Programa demonstraram um aperfeiçoamento e crescimento após os 6 meses de aceleração, viabilizando a proposição de tecnologias mais consolidadas e focadas nos reais problemas da agricultura. O acompanhamento pós-programa indica que estas AgTechs têm auxiliado o produtor rural, efetiva e eficazmente, agregando valor à agricultura brasileira.
