The Food Tech Innovation Portal intends to provide a central address with bundled information for people interested in 'open innovation' and networking related to food processing. This way, the implementation of new technologies in the food sector shall be fostered to enhance the competitiveness especially of small and medium-sized companies without R&D; departments. The portal is created in Wikipedia style, allowing a continuous update and extension of entries. Thereby, content quality is guaranteed by a review process organized by the portal developers. The portal is accessible free of charge. However, certain functions are available only after free registration for the Associated Membership Platform (via email to amp@hightecheurope.eu or directly on the portal). Associated members are able to enter their own contact data, technologies, and open accessible facilities to use the portal as a networking platform and to generate new business contacts. Furthermore, also personal contact data are only available for registered users. Thus, not only new technologies but also suitable partners for new developments and collaborative projects can be found.
