RTD TALOS carried out four targeted meetings with dairy and livestock businesses in Dromolaxia, Athienou, Lythrodontas and Potamia, strengthening the recruitment of Cypriot SMEs into the SmartGreenEcos ecosystem.
SmartGreenEcos is intensifying direct engagement with dairy-sector businesses in Cyprus as part of the ongoing effort to recruit and onboard SMEs into the project ecosystem.
During September 2026, RTD TALOS carried out four targeted face-to-face meetings with dairy and livestock businesses across Cyprus, giving companies the opportunity to learn more about SmartGreenEcos, discuss the potential benefits of participation and raise questions related to their own business needs.
The meetings took place in:
The primary objective of these meetings is SME recruitment: explaining the project in practical terms, presenting the opportunities available to participating companies and supporting interested businesses through the process of joining the SmartGreenEcos ecosystem.
At the same time, the discussions are providing valuable insight into the real challenges faced by Cypriot businesses. Topics raised during the meetings included operating and production costs, workforce training, procurement practices, access to business networks, water and wastewater management, availability of raw milk, energy performance and the protection of commercially sensitive business information.
These insights will also provide useful input for the forthcoming co-design and data-collection activities, helping the project team better understand how the four SmartGreenEcos digital platforms can respond to different types of dairy-sector businesses.
The targeted outreach carried out during September has already contributed to the formal onboarding of an additional Cyprus SME, while follow-up discussions with other businesses are continuing.
The immediate priority is to further expand the Cyprus SME cohort and prepare participating companies for the next project stages, including structured co-design, data collection, platform testing and pilot activities.
Through direct meetings with businesses across the dairy value chain, SmartGreenEcos is working to build a representative Cyprus SME ecosystem while ensuring that the services being developed are informed by real operational needs.
