Our European and International projects

From its creation, Valorial has always fostered an international dimension and collaboration for its members and for the wider agri-food innovation ecosystem. Over the years, Valorial has organised numerous international collective pavilions, networking initiatives and business delegations to showcase the expertise, innovation capacity and know-how of its members and regional ecosystems on the global stage. These actions have aimed at strengthening the visibility of innovative agri-food actors from Brittany, Pays de la Loire and Normandy while facilitating access to international partners, markets, technologies and collaboration opportunities.

Since 2016, European and international projects have become major levers to further expand these activities and reinforce Valorial’s role as a connector between regional ecosystems and global innovation dynamics. Through its participation in more than 25 projects, Valorial develops initiatives aligned with the needs of its members, the expectations of the ecosystem and its strategic priority innovation domains (DIPs).

These projects contribute to accelerating research and innovation, accessing complementary funding opportunities, fostering cross-border collaboration and strengthening strategic intelligence on emerging technologies, regulations and market trends. Beyond project participation itself, these international collaborations enable Valorial to develop new services, experimentation opportunities, networking formats and innovation actions that directly benefit both its members and the wider agri-food innovation ecosystem.
