VIIAFOOD – Platform for Valorization, Industrialization and Commercial Innovation for AgroFood
“This project intends to boost the transformation of the Portuguese food sector and increase the competitiveness of national companies. It promises to develop more than 130 new products, services and processes by 2025, in line with national and international trends on healthy eating and sustainability.”
The VIIAFOOD Agenda aims to promote the structural transformation of the agri-food sector in line with the designs established in the Sectorial Pact for the Competitiveness and Internationalization of the Agri-Food Sector, through the creation of a platform, on a national scale, for the development of innovative products, processes and services, materializing in a concerted strategic plan, with joint measures and actions oriented towards the common objectives of the Sector. In this way, the VIIAFOOD Agenda intends to reinforce the collaboration between business entities of the Agroindustrial sector, intersectoral companies (of related industries) and non-business entities (ENESII, Associations, and CoLABs) that contribute/can contribute, in a relevant way, to the Agrifood sector, with a view to leveraging the creation of synergies and the transfer of knowledge and technologies, accelerating Research, Development, and Innovation (R&D&I) in the context of the Agrifood sector.
The VIIAFOOD consortia is part of the Mobilising Agendas for Business Innovation, framed in the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). More information about the projec can be found at https://viiafood.pt/en/.
