- processing, cleaning supplies, pest control, packaging
- R&D, laboratories, consultants and more
The Cluster focuses on:
Food Quality and Safety
The basic ingredients for premium foodstuffs are quality, safety and traceability. The presence of these ingredients forms the foundation for success of operations but also ensures the competitiveness of companies. In the development of new products, quality expectations must be fulfilled on the one hand, but on the other, these new food products must meet existing consumer demands, sell well and thus bring increased turnover and profit to their producers. The ultimate goal is the production of high-quality food in accordance with the most current and modern scientific standards. The Cluster team promotes the development and introduction of innovative products, new technologies and processes. The Food Cluster of Lower Austria supports its partner operations in the fulfilment of legal requirements and industry-specific standards. Through participation in professional events and qualification initiatives, the skills and competence of each employee are expanded upon.
More Market Opportunities for Organic and Regional Products
Demand for organic products continues to increase. Regional products are also gaining in popularity thanks to their short route to market and the creation of value which remains in the region. The Food Cluster of Lower Austria supports native operations in the development and marketing of new and innovative products which meet today‘s market demands.
