Food Innovation Network
A virtual community of organisations, making food innovation a reality.
Defra’s Food Innovation Network (FIN) has completed its 2-year programme. The FIN programme, ran as a virtual community support system, was set up to help connect food and drink businesses looking for opportunities, partners, processes and ideas to help them make their innovation ideas a reality and fuel the growth of their business.
The legacy of this programme has resulted in a number of successes as highlighted in the infographic below (download a copy here), and the case studies listed here, which makes it possible for Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) to continue to support users and their food businesses wishing to innovate.
Access to the food innovation support community is now the sole responsibility of KTN.
