"Within the Vitagora network, we were able to find leading experts in elderly malnutrition. These connections led us to join a collaborative research project called Renessens. Up till that moment, we had been working on the treatment of the pathology itself. Now, we are able to work on solutions that go beyond purely medical responses. That is thanks to Vitagora."

"We have relied on Vitagora to provide us with connections within its vast network in order to quickly develop our knowledge around a number of subjects, in order to set up innovation projects. These connections allowed us to accelerate the process and even gain a headstart, in particular concerning rice cooking and digital applications for cooking.

"Innovation is at the heart of our strategy. We have a team of high-level experts and a lot of ideas. However, industrial partnerships and access to a network of scientific experts has been harder to come by. We therefore made the choice to join Vitagora in order to enlarge our network.
