University Spin-off Creation by Spanish Researchers in Agricultural Engineering

This paper describes how a team of university professors and graduate students created a technology-based company (spin-off) to as a means to deliver their research findings to the agricultural sector. The spin-off company was based on the use of new methodologies, equipment, instrumentation and sen...

The spin-off company was based on the use of new methodologies, equipment, instrumentation and sensors initially developed for various research projects.
