Further information
- DARe supports its members and customers in finding public funding opportunities and in tailoring these funds on the basis of their needs
- DARe provides advisory services to its customers (members and third parties) by auditing their organisations in order to check technology/innovation gaps and bias. In addition to that, DARe provides specific services to customers such as newtorking with potential foreign partners and market researches
- DARe is a Public-Private Consortium that runs a Technological Cluster. For this reason, its mission is to support, to strengthen and to improve networking and relationships among its members through exchanging strategic pieces of information, organising meetings on a periodic basis and regularly informing about opportunities and market trends
- Since its mission is to support technology transfer in the agrifood domain, DARe is phisiologically "cross-sectoral". This means that DARe develops and manages projects in the agrifood industry strictu sensu as well as in the renewable energy sector and in the medical sector (nutrition, functional foods and so on)
- This is the core business of the Cluster. DARe audits technology/innovation gaps of its members and customers, creates partnerships, shares innovation projects with these partnerships through the scouting the most adequate available technologies and finds funding opportunity.
