Collective research is our concern

Dynamic markets and increased competition address high demands to companies from the food and packaging industry. Increasingly complex circumstances and challenging boundary conditions request a flexible use of available resources inside and outside the enterprise.

Interdisciplinary topics at the boundaries of the value chain require acquisition of competences outside the enterprise from suppliers, customers or research institutes. The associated research costs are often too high for one single enterprise and circumvent pick up of new innovative domains.

In the frame of precompetitive collective research knowledge and solutions to problems are developed under coordination of the IVLV. Continuous cooperation with industry and research partners generates competences within an innovation network which are continuously strengthened by sustainable development. Involved enterprises benefit from a direct backflow of knowledge and continuing education.
