Great news coming from the CULTIVATE community: our six main projects results have been analysed and recognised as key innovations by the European Commission’s Innovation Radar!
To give you a bit of a context, the Innovation Radar is a platform built using insights and data collected by independent experts who review ongoing research and innovation projects funded by the European Commission. These experts offer an impartial assessment of the innovations within these projects and their market potential. The platform’s goal is to make EU-funded innovations from high-quality projects more visible and accessible to the public, and it allows citizens to explore the incredible technological and scientific advancements achieved by researchers and innovators across Europe, funded by the European Commission on their behalf.
Specifically, the identified results of the CULTIVATE project include its primary outcome, the Food Sharing Compass, along with the five key tools that form its framework (you can click on the links to be redirected to the corresponding innovations’ page on the platform):
- Food Sharing Compass
- SHARECITY200 Database
- Food Sharing Calculator
- Menu of Good Governance
- Library of Citizen Engagement
- European Food Sharing Community of Practice
For each of the selected CULTIVATE innovations, the platform highlights several notable aspects. From an exploitation perspective, it evaluates their market maturity, potential for market creation, and go-to-market requirements. On the social and sustainability front, it emphasizes women-led innovations and highlights the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) addressed by each innovation.
These important recognitions underscore the exceptional work carried out by all CULTIVATE partners and reaffirm our belief in the project’s chosen path. We are proud to see our results recognized on this platform, and we look forward to continuing to make an impact in the food sharing system!
