Description
Agropolis is located in the city of Viladecans, surrounded by one of the largest horticultural production areas in Catalonia (the Baix Llobregat Agricultural Park). It has excellent transport connections, as it is 5 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from Barcelona and the port, via the C-31 and C-32 motorways.
The aim of Agropolis is to become a hub for demonstration of the application of technologies to the agri-food system.
