Data-driven agri-food innovation

We make data and workflows interoperable, providing actionable information that accelerates and expands public and private innovation.

Acting Agile, Looking Longterm

Fast paced progress in the data sciences requires being fleet of foot. But agri-food innovation requires being in there for the long run. Key to GEMS success is recurring state government funding to shore up core infrastructure costs and drive forward bold initiatives.

Forging our future

Ag’s future is digital. We nurture talent – be it in the field, on the bench, or in the boardroom – to develop next-gen data science skills needed to solve tomorrow’s problems.

Public-private collaboration

GEMS fosters the creation of partnerships among public and private entities by lowering the barriers to targeted data sharing and discovery. Currently more than a dozen companies are using GEMS infrastructure for this purpose.

Secure web-based initiative

Your data, your choice. At GEMS, we have the highest level of legal and technical security in place so you can be confident your data is shared only with whom you want.
