Berytech is organizing a web-conference to launch TRANSDAIRY, a new project funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC Med Programme to empower technology transfer, innovation and entrepreneurship in the dairy value chain and grow this ecosystem in the Mediterranean.
TRANSDAIRY will use the innovation and living lab methodology to bring stakeholders together including researchers, industry players, SMEs, representatives from the public sector, entrepreneurs, to exchange best practices and implement Key Enabling Technologies and solutions applied to the Dairy Value Chain.
The online event, in partnership with the Industrial Research Institute, will allow the different partners to introduce the project, its context and different components.
