We at Coventry University Enterprises are pleased to announce our participation in an EU-funded FP7 project called TRADEIT, a collaborative project supporting a network of Traditional Food SMEs and Food Researchers in the areas of innovation, entrepreneurship, training, and technology transfer to help increase competitiveness and sustainability of SME companies producing traditional foods in Europe.
The project is focused on supporting companies in the dairy, meat and bakery sectors. The project has 19 partners based in the UK, Ireland, Poland, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Finland, Portugal and Italy and will run for 3 years.
