Industry engages through experimental farms and greenhouses, farm units used for pilot production such as a dairy and winery, and applied laboratories that support lab‑to‑field validation. An innovation hub and entrepreneurship programs connect companies with faculty and students, and a competence center in smart agriculture links the university with technology vendors and agrifood firms across Attica. Research is backed by competitive EU and national funding, including Horizon Europe and the European Regional Development Fund, and Greece’s General Secretariat for Research and Innovation. A dedicated Office of Innovation and Technology Transfer supports IP, licensing, and spin‑offs.
