Hub4Food - Innovation Support Mechanism for Companies
Hub4Food will implement a Business Innovation Strategy to provide services to companies, supporting innovation and competitiveness. It will function as a central virtual network of regional/national contact points that implement services in their respective regions but cooperate transnationally to ensure maximum impact and success.
Hub4Food services are provided by the partnership clusters, which collaborate with each other in defining and delivering these services. Each cluster has prepared a catalogue of services available to SMEs in the food sector in their respective regions.
