Ideas / Research / Technology / Impact
Economist, researcher and project professional.
My research focuses on the agricultural sector, particularly on digital transformation, agricultural entrepreneurship and the economic impact of emerging technologies.
Beyond academic research, my work includes the development and implementation of European and national projects, with a focus on innovation, digital technologies and investment. I am interested in the connection between research and practice — how new ideas and technologies can be translated into viable projects, business opportunities and practical solutions.
