Clémenece Carbonnel

R&I Projects Manager in Normandy

My responsibilities

  • Provide advice and engineering for R&I projects and innovation management.
  • Deploy activities planned by Valorial to support innovation in Normandy’s agri-food businesses.
  • Develop the member network and innovation ecosystem in Normandy.

My passions in life

  • Eating
  • Spending time with my family
  • Running (often while listening to podcasts)
  • Yoga

If I were…

  • A dish: croquetas: they’re fun, accessible, come in all flavours, and remind me of Spain, which was my adopted country for five years.
  • A kitchen utensil: a large bowl, which can be used all the time and for lots of things!
  • A sports item: a yoga mat.
  • An innovation: a personalised nutrition device.
  • A country: a mix of lots of countries, impossible to choose!
  • A writer: Titiou Lecoq. I would have loved to write a book like Les grandes oubliées: informative and necessary, yet funny and easy to read.
  • A cocktail: the canchanchara.
  • A song: Song for Jo by Fakear.
  • An item I would take to a desert island: a large scarf, because it’s multifunctional.

My motto

At your service!
