Partnerships are truly the foundation of the work at Olds College of Agriculture & Technology. Whether financial, academic or experiential, these partnerships raise the bar for what can be delivered throughout the year. The Smart Farm and Olds College Centre for Innovation (OCCI) provide researchers and partners with the ability to take things that are new and novel, and may still require development, and apply them to a real-world environment. This gives strategic partners the opportunity to truly see their technology in action.
The Smart Farm provides partners with a unique means of gaining boots-on-the-ground testing and learnings for their technologies and practices. This includes support in disseminating results to producers and other industry stakeholders through communications and events, such as the College’s annual educational expo — AgSmart.
The work continues and Olds College welcomes strategic partners who are looking to invest in building solutions, who are looking to test solutions, or who are still developing solutions. The Smart Farm is a place that can bring everyone together to transform agriculture for a better world.
