Description: 
The HEClab is an online platform designed to promote the adoption of digital technologies for art-driven innovation in the food sector. As part of the ongoing Hungry EcoCities project, we are continuously developing and refining our platform. With a focus on Technology Readiness Levels 4 to 6, the HEClab strives to bridge this gap, facilitating demonstrations, validations, and real-world applications of innovative solutions. The HEClab, currently in its beta version, serves as a testing ground for our aspirations of facilitating the matchmaking between in this pahse art-driven innovation prototypes and opportunities contributing to the Hungry EcoCities goals. Hungry EcoCities is dedicated to addressing one of today's most pressing challenges: creating a healthier, more sustainable, responsible, and affordable agri-food system for all.
