Technology Transfer Services

Find a technology, gain access and develop novel products and services

Novel technologies in food processing that benefit human health, reduce production cost, improve the quality and sustainability of products and processes, reduce food wastes and improve environmental impact are developed  by FOOD INNOVATION RI to enhance the innovation capacity of the agri-food sector.

These technologies are offered to SMEs, large companies, research centres or public bodies, also referred to as stakeholders, in order to further develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes or services of their interest.

FOOD INNOVATION RI will promote the technology transfer process by sharing data, methods, knowledge and skills during every step of development.

How to gain access

Technologies offered for transfer are designated as OPEN and are provided either on a continuous basis or following a call for expression of interest. In both cases stakeholders shall submit a short project proposal to demonstrate how they can contribute to the development and exploitation of the technology. A group of experts from FOOD INNOVATION RI will evaluate the proposals with respect to the proposed plan of actions, the resources offered, the experience of the stakeholder and the general criteria highlighted in our access policy. A cooperation agreement for the development and exploitation of the technology will be offered to the selected stakeholders.
