At DASK, we aspire to create a future where Greek rural communities thrive through digital innovation that respects and enhances traditional agricultural heritage. We believe in fostering economic viability, sustainability, and intergenerational knowledge transfer by harnessing the transformative power of AI and digital platforms. Our vision is to enable farmers and AKIS actors to capture full value from their products, develop diverse agritourism opportunities, and preserve invaluable traditional knowledge, creating a replicable model for rural digital transformation across Mediterranean regions while reversing depopulation trends and empowering agricultural communities to thrive in a modern economy.

Our approach integrates participatory design with agile development to create technology that truly serves rural community needs. At the heart of DASK are two breakthrough innovations: a unified digital marketplace leveraging the PoliRuralPlus E-market platform for agricultural products and agritourism, and the Jackdaw GeoAI Chatbot serving as an intelligent training assistant customised for local agricultural knowledge. We embrace the "digital terroir" concept, ensuring our solutions reflect and enhance Kythera's unique agricultural characteristics rather than imposing standardised approaches. By engaging farmers, cooperatives, and ministry partners from inception through a Digital Champions network and co-design workshops, we continuously refine our platform to ensure it meets diverse needs while preserving traditional practices, driving sustainable innovation, and promoting environmental stewardship through precision agriculture guidance.
