European projects are considered as a strategic action to develop for VEGEPOLYS VALLEY. For our members as well as for the cluster itself, European collaborations for R&I are important opportunities. Through the integration in European networks (Plant Inter Cluster Network, Digital Innovation Hub and Competence Centre recognized by Smart AgriHubs project, etc), we demonstrate our added-value and relevance as French partner.
