Abstract: The relevance of the study is due to the fact that, to ensure the normal functioning of any sector of the economy, it must be provided with infrastructure, which is a set of institutions that provide participants with access to various resources, creating favorable conditions and providing a variety of services that reduce the total cost of obtaining the result of intellectual activity and its commercialization. It should be noted that since 70-80-ies ХХ century in technologically advanced countries, including the European Union, began to actively spread various forms of joint research aimed mainly at ensuring major technological breakthroughs. One of these institutional forms is technology platforms, which have been widely developed in the European Union, based on the development of innovative technologies and the strengthening of cooperation between science and industry, public authorities and society. Within the framework of the EU technology platforms, it became possible for the participants to: carry out research that could not be carried out independently due to significant costs and risks; distribute the costs of scientific research among the participants; unite the participants of scarce labor and material resources for the implementation and commercialization of scientific developments. Thus, European technology platforms (hereinafter, ETPs) are interested forums (platforms) uniting research organizations, business and government structures for the purpose of research and development, transfer of innovation and transfer of knowledge and, ultimately, the creation of new jobs and economic growth of the European Union. The aim of the study was to review the practical experience of the creation, development and activities of European technology platforms in the agricultural sector.
