Case Study
WeTruf (2019)
WeTruf is a start-up founded in 2019, emerging from INRAE's research on truffles. It offers training, advice, and expert services to truffle growers. The company developed two innovative products:
- pF Tracer One™: A device that measures soil water availability to optimize irrigation.
- DNA-based Identification Protocol: A rapid method to identify various truffle species using a single process.
These innovations were developed through research collaborations between INRAE, AGRITRUFF, and ROBIN Seeds.
