Sweden Food Arena’s Research and Innovation Agenda is launched!

In order to contribute to the implementation of the government’s food strategy and to achieve our vision, goals, and missions, a joint focus on innovation and research in the food sector based on the needs of the industry is required.

We need new knowledge and expertise that will benefit the businesses as well as increased collaboration between businesses, government agencies, academia, and politics. With our agenda, we want to be a source of inspiration for thinking new, thinking big, and thinking together.

Ta del av Sweden Food Arenas innovations- och forskningsagenda!

För att kunna bidra till att genomföra regeringens livsmedelsstrategi samt nå den vision, de mål och missioner vi formulerat för att visa näringens potential behövs en gemensam innovations- och forskningssatsning i livsmedelssektorn utifrån näringens behov. Det behövs ny kunskap och kompetens som kommer företagen till nytta samt ett ökat samarbete mellan näringsliv, myndigheter, akademi och politik. Med vår agenda och våra kartläggningar av olika värdekedjor vill vi ge inspiration till att tänka nytt, tänka stort och tänka tillsammans.

We welcome more businesses to become members
