UAB “Chemcentras” is a Lithuanian company developing innovative products, components and preparations for the agricultural and food technology sector. While actively investing in R&D activities, the company has noticed that its internal resources are no longer sufficient, and it needs to look for other alternatives to ensure more efficient development of R&D activities. One way is to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the EU’s R&D&I initiatives/programmes.

In this context, the company is planning to implement the project “Finding partners for international R&D initiatives in the field of agro-innovation and food technology at EIT events”. The aim of the project is to develop international partnerships and networking through the EIT, seeking opportunities to participate in international EU R&D&I initiatives. Through participation in international R&D&I initiatives, which are communicated by EIT organizations, it is expected to find partners to participate in international EU R&D&I programmes (SME Instrument; Horizon2020, Eureka; Eurostars; etc.) and to sign at least one agreement binding the applicant and the international partner to jointly submit applications to international programmes in the field of R&D&I.

The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
