The vision of the Food_scalEUp project is to foster the capacity of European regional agri-food digital innovation ecosystems, especially in “emerging” and “moderate” innovator regions, to be more

• connected among their regional stakeholders but also with other European regional ecosystems; thus, advancing towards a European acceleration ecosystem;
• effective, fostering the successful scaling-up of technology start-ups and SMEs;
• impactful, in terms of fostering the digital and green transition of the food industry;
• resilient; thus, still effective under crisis and highly changing conditions; and
• internationally recognised by and attractive for companies from other countries.

This long-term project vision will be pursued through the following project mission:

• develop higher quality business acceleration services in agri-food digital innovation ecosystems of emerging and moderate innovator regions;
• expand the connections, knowledge exchange, collaboration at regional, European and international level, between key people representing the different actors of the agri-food digital innovation ecosystems involved in the project;
