Read our story
The Clemson University - Center for Agricultural Technology (CU-CAT) came into existence in February 2021, following the visionary decision of the Clemson Board of Trustees. This strategic move was driven by a commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration between academia and industry, with a singular focus on enhancing support for South Carolina farmers and agribusinesses.
At its core, CU-CAT was established with the deliberate intention of fostering strong ties with industry partners. The goal is to create a dynamic hub where academia and the agricultural sector converge, working hand-in-hand to address challenges and explore cutting-edge solutions. This collaborative approach ensures that the knowledge generated within the center translates into tangible benefits for South Carolina's farming community.
Recognizing the pivotal role CU-CAT could play in the state's agricultural landscape, the South Carolina State Legislature extended its support by granting a recurring operating fund. This financial backing is instrumental in empowering our mission.
