Project in short  

The FRIDGE project seeks to find good solutions and policies in developing food industry SME competitiveness through international cooperation. The project maps good European practices within three thematic areas:  

  1. improved productivity 
  2. improved market reach
  3. capacity enhancement  

During the project we seek to spread information about the policies and good solutions of food industry SME development as widely as possible both to the SMEs and those involved in the business development ecosystems. Each region participating in the project will also draw up a regional action plan which includes concrete measures for the development of the industry.
