  • Organising events and publishing articles that reach a broad audience.
  • Accelerating the research ambitions of the agri-food ecosystem.
• Acting as matchmaker between businesses and other innovative players and actors.
• Providing access to a specific innovation budget for both strategic and more implementation-oriented research in cooperative and collective frameworks.
• Our experienced, dynamic and driven team.
