Coffee and beverages 5. Wine Engineering 1. Agricultural machinery 2. Food processing equip. (meat, milk, wine, ….) 3. Food packaging equip. 4. Specialising logistics

  4. Research laboratories in the Regional High Technology Network are organized in an themed Platform (the group of research Labs specializing in agro-food issues) and work on the quality and safety of raw materials, processing, equipment, machinery and finished products, health issues andon the enhancement and development of traditional products.
