HIGHFIVE
The overall goal the project is to foster, enable and facilitate SME targeted and interregional investment actions to implement or bring to the market innovative digital solutions to concrete challenges of the food processing companies and thus contributing to the Farm to Fork strategy. More concretely, HIGHFIVE will 1) deploy a portfolio of three industry driven implementation projects that will serve as demo-cases and provide valuable lessons learnt for both the cluster partners as for other SMEs, 2) implement a voucher scheme to fund SME innovation investment projects across Europe, 3) provide customized individual and collective support actions to enable SMEs to overcome the hurdles connected to implementing innovative digital technologies, and 4) extract the results and lessons learnt throughout the project activities and to valorise them within the SS4AF network and transfer them to additional European stakeholders.
