Om oss

Workshops är två utbildningssessioner med titeln "Grow Workshop" som fokuserar på trender och framväxande teknologier inom hållbarhet inom livsmedelsindustrin. Målet är att diskutera och ompröva praxis och tekniker som används inom jordbruket samt utforska nya affärsmodeller baserade på nya möjligheter och teknologier samtidigt som ett nätverk av kontakter inom den europeiska hållbarhetsekosystemet etableras. Dessa workshops är kostnadsfria och börjar den 6:e och 27:e november. De riktar sig till producenter och små och medelstora företag (SMEs) verksamma inom primärproduktionen av livsmedel.

EIT Food, etablerat av European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), syftar till att bygga upp en inkluderande och innovativ gemenskap av olika partners inom jordbruks- och livsmedelsindustrin för att främja innovation och entreprenörskap i hela Europa.
