Since the beginning of the program at the end of the year 2015, actions rolled out throughout the innovation pillar of the program have aimed at satisfying many different objectives:
- Strenghten synergies between the various stakeholders of the Research and Innovative sectors & reinforce the innovation processes,
- Enable the innovation process to be easier and encourage a better knowledge between each stakeholder involved in the innovation processes,
- Design together new tools and organize events linked to innovation,
- Develop and promote a structured offer of joint collaborations and services dedicated to agro-food industry,
- Improve research & innovation infrastructures in order to have pooled and up-to-the-minute facilities for collaborative R&D projects and generate a higher number of innovative projects for businesses.
Throughout the program, many concrete actions have been developed by Cap Aliment (an association which brings together food businesses – through the regional food industries association LIGERIAA – research, higher education and technology transfer institutions, technical and institutional partners in Pays de la Loire) and his collaborators so as to fulfill these goals. More specifically, an innovation Committee has been created.
This innovation committee run by Cap Aliment (Regional Agency) and chaired by Terrena, mixes the regional research innovation stakeholders (regional technology transfer actors getting the most out of publicly funded research…) in the food sector. The aim of this committee is:
- To strengthen innovation and research synergies and the ties between those involved in these fields.
- To develop and promote a packaged offer of collaborations and services for businesses
- To optimize the commercialization of research expertise
