THE FINAL EVENTS IN EGYPT AND MOROCCO
The organization of the final events in Egypt and Morocco to present the main results and the Living Lab program was the highlight of this last year.
The first RESILINK’s Final Event in Egypt took place at AASTMT’s campus in Alexandria, as part of the HOPE26 workshop held in hybrid mode. The event has been organized by AASTMT partner and was a great opportunity for the whole RESILINK consortium to acknowledge the participation and the engagement of farmers in the Evaluation Program and the Living-Lab program run by RESILINK.

The second RESILINK’s Final Event in Morocco took place at University Sultan Moulay Slimane (USMS) in Beni-Mellal. The event entitled “Digital Innovation and Resilience in Agroecosystems: RESILINK in Action” has been organized by USMS partner and was a great opportunity for the whole RESILINK consortium to acknowledge again the participation and the engagement of farmers in the Evaluation Program and the Living-Lab program run by RESILINK.

In addition to the 2 RESILINK presentations on “Innovating in Platform-of-Platforms Approaches for Increased Resilience Targeting Smallholder Farmer Communities” and “Living-Labs Results: Co-building Resilience with RESILINK“, Orange presented their broad activities in Africa in a presentation entitled “Orange, multi-service operator, partner in digital transformation in Africa: Focus on digital agriculture and its challenges“. It was the opportunity for Bruno Conquet from Orange Innovation to announce that during a meeting with Orange Guinea in Guinea (Conakry) in the end of 2025, the interest in the RESILINK application concept, look & feel was high to create a “Marketplace” application. The RESILINK approach and service will therefore be adapted for Orange Guinea.
An invited presentation on the “Al Moutmir Initiative and Program” was also given by Aiman Atchemrk from UM6P. It was a great moment of exchange on the valuable multi-year experience on increasing capacity-building and innovation with digital tools with smallholder farmer communities!

In order to fine tune the offer recommendation system, the RESILINK mobile app will ask a user to indicate its Field of Activity and Field Specialization. Statistics will be collected in real time on offer creations, search activities and selection of listed offers.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The impact of RESILINK can be seen from the scientific publications that open new research & innovations perspectives in the agriculture domain, especially in contributing to develop participatory approaches. We are so happy to be able to contribute with an interdisciplinary approach where advanced ICT concepts could be integrated into more agricultural and economical research.
