The Agricultural Technical Institute for Seed Potato
inov3PT's missions is to provide solutions and innovations to the players in the sector (seed potato growers and Growers Organisations, laboratories, breeders, technicians, experimenters, etc...) in order to consolidate the strenghts of the French seed potato but also to transfer the results and develop their impact.
inov3PT also provides reference services, technical support, expertise and training, both nationally and internationally.
​
inov3PT is financed by seed potato growers and, as an agricultural technical institute, also benefits from a CasDAR grant as part of the National Agricultural and Rural Development Programme (PNDAR).
