Case Study: Virginia Tech transforms the GAP Report into an interactive agricultural intelligence platform with Appnovation

Virginia Tech launches GAP IQ Alpha with Appnovation

Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences faced the challenge of transforming its static Global Agricultural Productivity (GAP) Report into an interactive digital platform. The goal was to make complex agricultural data more accessible and actionable for its audience of policymakers and researchers. Appnovation was engaged to help realize this vision.

Appnovation partnered with Virginia Tech and Google to develop the GAP IQ platform. The solution involved product visioning, creating an interactive prototype, structuring data in BigQuery, and demonstrating analytics with Looker. This established a scalable technical foundation and progressed the project into active alpha development. The results included strong stakeholder alignment, support for fundraising efforts, and the creation of a sustainable model for future AI-enabled capabilities.
