ITC is a Slovenian innovation organisation that supports the development and adoption of digital technologies, sustainable innovation and smart solutions across multiple sectors. By connecting research organisations, industry, public authorities and end users, ITC promotes collaborative innovation and the transfer of research into practical, market-ready solutions.

ITC leads the development of the project's data governance, interoperability and connectivity framework, ensuring that the TRACER MRV System is secure, transparent and capable of integrating data from multiple digital platforms and technologies.

The organisation also leads the project's multidimensional impact assessment and upscaling strategies, evaluating the environmental, economic and social impacts of the TRACER MRV System while developing pathways for its long-term adoption across diverse agricultural systems.

In addition, ITC leads the Mixed Grassland–Livestock Systems Pilot (Slovenia), which focuses on mixed farming systems combining grassland, cereals and livestock production. The pilot will test and calibrate the TRACER MRV System by evaluating greenhouse gas emissions from integrated crop and livestock systems, supporting the validation of sustainable mitigation strategies under mixed farming conditions.
