SLU is a young university with a long history. It was founded in 1977 after a merger of the Swedish School of Agriculture, the Swedish School of Forestry and the Swedish School of Veterinary Medicine, as well as the School of Forestry in Skinnskatteberg and the Veterinary Institute in Skara. Today, SLU is a top international university with research, education and environmental analysis in the sciences for sustainable living. The main locations are Alnarp, Umeå and Uppsala, but activities are also carried out at research stations, experimental parks and training centers throughout the country.

An important part of SLU in terms of digitization is SLU Gigacow under the leadership of Tomas Klingström. The background to SLU Gigacow is as follows: The digitization of agriculture makes it possible to collect more and more data from our dairy farms using automated methods. Together with genomic breeding evaluation and new connected sensors, this means great opportunities for increased production on Swedish dairy farms even in a changing climate.

Gigacow is an infrastructure initiative aimed at increasing the exchange between researchers and the industry. The goal is to work with farmers to combine genomic breeding evaluation with better metrics for production optimization in an environment where both technology and climate are changing more rapidly.

Gigacow has started work on creating a data collection platform that can be connected to available systems on dairy farms and also used as a base to connect new sensors and cameras. The network currently consists of 17 farms with over 5000 dairy cows where they are currently installing the monitoring system.

The aim is to DNA test the animals in the network and then complete the knowledge of the herds through automated collection of phenotypic breeding values and environmental data. Gigacow is responsible for the initial setup and will also ensure that both collected data and conclusions are available to participants in the project.

SLU will have an important role in monitoring and analysis. They will also provide training in the form of courses and seminars and will work with tests and experiments.

DeLaval International AB is a technology company originating from AB Separator, a company founded in 1883 to exploit Gustaf de Laval's 1878 invention, the separator, used to separate cream from milk. The company is headquartered in Tumba, in the municipality of Botkyrka, where the Hamra test farm is also located.

The company is now part of the Tetra Laval Group. The main focus of production is equipment for milk production. DeLaval is a world leader in manufacturing for dairy barns, they have a dominant position in several markets in the world. The company has invested heavily in developing robotic milking, which means that cows are automatically milked in a special machine called the Voluntary Milking System (VMS). DeLaval also has manure robots that autonomously travel around cowsheds to scrape away manure. They are also working on feed robots. For example, the Optiwagon feed spreading robot was launched in 2023.

Digital technology is very central to DeLaval. Let's give some examples of interesting digital technology, besides the manure robot and feed spreader:

- Automatic cow identification system through IFID (1977)
- Milking robot where cows can choose to be milked voluntarily, voluntary milking system (1998)
- Cell counter (2003)
- Analysis tool for mastitis, reproduction, metabolic disorders and feed protein balance, Herd Navigator (2007)
- Automated feeding solution that mixes recipes and distributes feed adapted to the specific animal group, Optimat (2008)
- Complete software system for dairy farm management, DelPro (2009)
- First ever automatic milking rotator, AMR (2010)
- First automated body grading system, BCS (2015)
- Automatic teat spray robot for rotors, TSR (2015)
- Digital service, consumption management and advice service, InService (2017)
- Milking robot that does not need to be calibrated for each cow, V300 (2018)

Each of these examples are systems that incorporate multiple digital technology elements. The V300, for example, is based on digital technologies such as time-of-flight (TOF) cameras; touch screens that can withstand harsh environments, mechatronics and apps. DeLaval has a constant focus on new technology. Today, the focus is on technologies such as BigData, Internet of things, machine learning, new types of photonics (camera technology), new sensors and increased automation.

In the knowledge hub, DeLaval will be a very important player in the expert network where they can contribute with their extensive expertise in the development of digital technology for agriculture linked to animal husbandry in particular. DeLaval will be able to contribute to both business intelligence, analysis and testing and development.

Väderstad AB is a family business located in the small town of Väderstad and manufactures agricultural machinery in both seeding technology and tillage. It was founded in 1962 by farmer Rune Stark. Originally, the company manufactured cords for the stiff clay soils in the neighborhood. Today, the company manufactures harrows, rollers, cultivators, seed drills and precision seeders, which it exports to farmers all over the world. The company is constantly looking for technical solutions that can simplify the farmer's everyday life.

Väderstad is today one of the world's leading companies for tillage, seeding and precision seeding. They have a turnover of more than SEK 5.5 billion. The number of employees is more than 2000 and they have subsidiaries in both Canada and the USA. Electronics and software development have become increasingly important for Väderstad. Since the beginning of 2019, Väderstad has had an office in Tornby in Linköping. This has had the purpose of attracting employees with specialized skills in digital technology. In 2023, Väderstad moved the Linköping office to Mjärdevi Center near Linköping University.

Väderstad is known for having extensive dialogues with farmers. This means that the company continuously gets an updated picture of the problems and needs of farmers, which today is very much about digital technology. Even cultivators are now digital and require knowledge in this area to be managed optimally. To show the great importance of digital technology for Väderstad, we can give some examples:

- Digital control system, E-Services
- Interface displayed on the iPad regarding the Väderstad machine and its settings, E-Control
- Gateway (local wireless network) and "central computer" (Electronic Control Unit, ECU) with all data about the machine and which via sensors also captures data about the machine
- Wireless communication between tractor and machine (WiFi)
- ISOBUS
- 3D drawings of machines for easier spare parts identification
- SeedEye
- Docking station that protects the iPad and simplifies handling, E-Keeper
- Seed and fertilizer control files (geodata and allocation recipes)

To show how advanced digital technology can be, one can take the example of SeedEye. In August 2015, during a machine show in Magdeburg, Germany, Väderstad presented this world first. It is a sensor that is placed on each hose from the tank to the coulter on seed drills (the seed hoses). The sensor can read every seed that flows through the hose. As a consequence, the operator no longer needs to do any calibration tests to adjust the seed drill. The sensor consists of six phototransistors illuminated with infrared light. As soon as a seed passes a light beam, the light is briefly interrupted and the phototransistor thus registers the interruption in the light flow. In the case of oilseed rape, the system had 99% accuracy and for wheat 98-99% accuracy.

Developments are moving fast. During Agritechnica 2023, Väderstad launched E-Service on the TopDown cultivator. It allows the machines to use control files to control the implement settings automatically when running in the field. This means that the farmer, before going to the field, can program how discs, tines, levellers and rollers should work in different parts of the field based on, for example, soil type or field characteristics.

Väderstad has a very extensive knowledge of how digital technology can be used in plant cultivation in particular. This knowledge will be very valuable in the knowledge hub's expert network. Väderstad's international profile and close contact with farmers means that they can both contribute to worldwide business intelligence and to needs analysis that comes from farmers' needs. They are also highly development-oriented and can participate in tests and trials to develop new solutions involving digital technologies. They can also help spread knowledge on how to make better use of existing digital technologies.

The main funder is the Swedish Innovation Agency Vinnova. Other key funders are Linköping University and Region Östergötland.

Agtech Sweden includes technology companies, agricultural companies, agricultural machinery companies, consulting companies and actors representing value chains. It also includes institutes and academia. Within Linköping University, several departments with different subject areas are involved. The initiative as a whole has an explicit vision of cooperation with companies and organizations in the outside world and welcomes new actors to join Agtech Sweden or otherwise enter into collaborations. Among the organizations that are part of Agtech Sweden, there are several that constitute platforms in either digital technology or with proximity to agriculture. These include the following:

- Linköping Science Park
- AgroÖst: Member organization in several counties and with a focus on development projects in agriculture
- Vreta Kluster: A meeting place for the green industries
- Visual Sweden: A sister program within Vinnväxt with a focus on visualization and image analysis

Innovation projects are at the core of the business and usually include technology development and to some extent business development. One characteristic of these projects is that they mainly target new technologies that are not already on the market. Another characteristic is that the projects are usually created in collaboration between several organisations that can contribute different approaches and resources. Inspiration and new perspectives are about "stirring the pot", i.e. awakening thoughts and ideas in people to stimulate both the development and reception of new innovative concepts. This is done through seminars, workshops, fairs and meetings with different organizations. Knowledge development here refers to research, e.g. studies of agricultural technology using scientific methods. Knowledge dissemination is about disseminating research results but also knowledge generated through proven experience.
