About

The Food and Beverage sector is the largest manufacturing sector in the EU, making a major contribution to the EU economy.

SMEs in the F&B sector struggle to adopt new technologies and create sustainable digital transformation. They currently lag behind general emerging technology potential by more than 20% on average. The impact of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, climate change, and changes in both labour patterns and demand highlight the need for more integrated digital technology in the sector. It requires skilled people who can strategically guide digital transformation projects in the industry, acting as Digital Change Agents in the F&B sector.

Who will DIGIFABS help and impact?

The initiative has three primary target audiences and focuses on developing additional skills and knowledge so they can contribute to the digital advancement of the F&B processing industry.

We will highlight good practices across Europe and ensure skill transfer to bring an understanding of technological advances. to our target audiences in a way that is appropriate for their current level of knowledge.
