FRIDGE Joint Workshop with focus on productivity and investment

26th April 2021, 11.00-14.00

The project FRiDGE set its aim to contribute to public policies dealing with the food and drinks sector. Exchange of experience, learning Good Practices from each other lead to changes in those policies benefiting SMEs in our regions. There are several aspects in need of improvement in the sector.

Previously we have discussed our programs and efforts to assist food industry SMEs to reach local, national and international market with their products. This time, we will be reviewing instruments advancing productivity and helping to boost investments in machinery.
