This was stated this Tuesday by the Minister of Agriculture, Water and Rural Development, Francisco Martínez Arroyo, during the inauguration of the academic event 'The digitalisation process of a wine cooperative', aimed at researchers and professionals in the sector, and organised by the Alastria Research and Technology Transfer Committee, the Bodega Almazara Virgen de las Viñas and the university research group on digitalisation and company law DYDEM of the Rey Juan Carlos University, with the support of the universities UCLM, ICADE, UA and URJC, which took place in the auditorium of 'Virgen de las Viñas' in Tomelloso.
A project that will begin this summer and which is working with the University of Castilla-La Mancha, and for which there will be 15 recent graduates of the School of Computer Engineering of Albacete, so that winegrowers, farmers, wineries or cooperatives are related digitally and can simply make with a mobile phone and a QR code harvest or production declarations.
This is a commitment, explained the Minister Francisco Martínez Arroyo, which is included in the Strategic Wine Plan and which will be legally protected in the future Castilla-La Mancha Wine Law "which we are working on together".
Martínez Arroyo stressed this morning that in the innovation of the agri-food sector "we have our expectations for the future" and for this we must have the support of universities and institutions, "the centres of knowledge and knowledge".
In this way, he thanked the rector of the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Julián Garde, for his commitment and even more so "at a key moment in which we can all pull the region's economy together and for this we need the impetus of the agri-food sector" to move forward.
