Signature of a partnership agreement between Vitagora and the NFI Thailand

October 22, 2008 Vitagora today hosted in Dijon a delegation from the National Food Institute of Thailand for the signature of a partnership agreement between the two organizations.

This agreement is the result of the initial contact between Vitagora and the NFI in May 2008, during the visit to Thailand by a delegation of members of the French cluster. The group lead by Vitagora also visited 3 other countries in Asia, Vietnam, Singapore and Japan.

The NFI is an information and research organization attached to the Thai Ministry of Industry whose aim is to foster development and the competitiveness of the Thai food industry. The agreement with Vitagora will involve knowledge sharing and setting up student and teacher exchanges between France and Thailand, with the aim of fostering research and development activities in the areas of food products, packaging and any associated areas.

In 2008, Vitagora organized 3 international missions – in Asia (May), in the USA (July) and in Canada (September), with positive outcomes for the cluster and its members in terms of institutional and business partnerships. In addition, the International Taste-Nutrition-Health Congress, also organized by Vitagora every year in Dijon (the 4th edition will take place on March 18th -20th 2009), brings together the network set up by the cluster’s program of international development.
