Agrifood technology platform

Agrifood technology platform

Thanks to its three main fields of activity (research, training and partnerships with firms), the platform is open to:

  • researchers from various research units
  • teaching and training organizations (Montpellier SupAgro, University of Montpellier, etc.)
  • firms looking to contract out research
  • project leaders keen to promote a skill or develop a product.

CIRAD has entirely renovated the platform and many new items of equipment have been purchased within the framework of the TechAlim project, backed by the EU and the Occitanie Regional Council (ERDF), the French government (Ministry of Research, Higher Education and Innovation) and the Montpellier Metropolitan Council.
