On February 20th 2018 the New Frontiers in Food Fast Forward (NF4) project organised its internal kick off event in Brussels, Belgium. The NF4 project is an internationalization fast track accelerator for innovation-intensive food SMEs, powered by a 5-partner food clusters alliance: Clusaga (ES); Food Valley (NL); Valorial (FR); Vitagora (FR) and Wagralim (BE). The project is embedded on the successfully-defined road-map of the New Frontiers in Food initial partnership. The activities are  specialized on 3 food industry value chains: processed foods, health&nutritional food products and connected food. These value chains providie a full package of acceleration services, aiming at boosting international collaboration and business development of a cohort of European food SMEs. Within the project 4 overseas target markets are selected in which the consortium is already strongly connected: Canada, USA, China and Brazil. During the kick-off meeting the project activities were defined and the selection of activities in the target overseas markets has commenced.
