Finding funding for our SMEs is one of the main objectives of the Biotech4Food project. We are looking to provide financial assistance to companies presenting innovative research and development projects in the field of biotechnology applied to the agri-food industry.
Since the beginning, 12 SMEs have joined the Biotech4Food Consortium as industrial partners (see the article Biotech4Food: A European Endeavor in Agri-food Biotechnologies), and 3 new companies have joined us to develop ever more innovative solutions. Let’s take a closer look at these 3 new industrial partners.
