This project’s main objective is to strengthen innovation capacity in food SMEs by exploiting the potentials in network and innovation activities in triple helix cooperation between food SMEs, public sector and knowledge institutions. Through triple helix cooperations, the project builds a knowledge-bridge between SMEs, knowledge institutions and students, and public sector across the SBR supporting and facilitating growth and development in the food industry in SBR. No one can do it alone. Innovation interactions and activities will be implemented to convert future challenges into growth potentials in food SMEs within e.g. sustainability, health and vegetable proteins but also of an aging population, population growth and migration. Project partners from knowledge institutions have extensive experience working together with food SMEs strengthening growth.
