Feeding your innovation pipeline
We are committed to create a mutual understanding between the industry needs, whether it implies a multinational, a startup or a SME, and EPFL’s skills and expertise. Here is how…
At EPFL, 350 world class Professors are working on technologies with a strong applicability to food. Thanks to an ongoing dialogue with the IFNC members, and subsequent in-depth understanding of their science requirements, we can identify and bring them the relevant knowledge that will allow our partners to address your business, societal and environmental requirements.
Being a IFNC member offers the possibility to interact with senior decision makers of leading research driven organisations.
We closely work with our partners and spread the word about the many opportunities they offer (more information below).
