Réseau de 350 membres (entreprises, recherche, organismes de formation), le pôle soutient l’innovation et le développement des entreprise du Sud-Est de la France (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Languedoc Roussillon, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Corse), sur les filières agroalimentaires, compléments alimentaires et ingrédients santé, cosmétique, arômes et parfums sur toute la chaine de valeur, de l’agriculture aux produits finis.

**Innov’Alliance est partenaire de plusieurs projets européens au service des entreprises**, en particulier pour le secteur agroalimentaires, et renforce dans son cadre son équipe.

**Le/la chargé(e) de projets européens** aura pour missions, sous l’autorité de la Responsable de la BU Europe, de conduire les actions prévues dans le cadre des projets BIOTECH4FOOD et AENAM dont les résumés figurent ci-dessous.

**BIOTECH4FOOD**

The BIOTECH4FOOD project aims to facilitate investment & innovation across new value chains at the nexus between biotechnologies and the agri-food industry, thanks to inter-regional collaborations. Objectives are to make agri-food industry more sustainable, with more circular manufacturing practices, efficiently valorising biomass resources, better connected to consumer demands, responding to nutrition, proteins & health challenges, for a sustainable agro-food system. The project focusses on industrial biotechnology (fermentation, enzymes, microbial proteins, etc.), deploying TR6+ innovative biotech solutions.The project is powered by a consortium composed ofseven agri-food innovation clusters, three RTOs, one regional authority and four SMEslocated in transition or less developed regions The consortium is endorsed by ten regional authorities (in charge of their respective S3), and represents 20 NUTS2 EU regions (2 less developed regions, 10 transition regions and 8 more developed regions). In addition, more than 20 stakeholders (Industry leaders, investment funds, accelerators, RTOs, biotech experts, etc) have confirmed their support to the project. BIOTECH4FOOD will support agri-food SMEs to set-up and scale-up new value chains through the delivery of financial & non-financial, tangible & intangible support. The core of the workplan is made of (a) an acceleration/capacity/matchmaking WP, (b) a cascade funding scheme offering various types of vouchers, and (c) a dynamic portfolio of investment projects by “anchor-SMEs”. To start with, through mapping and inventorization will be co-created to deliver strategic vision and implementation roadmap. An ambitious outreach WP with a fruitful exploitation of the project’s results, including its sustainability thanks to a its alignment with the I4CE (Ingredients for a Circular Economy) Partnership. BIOTECH4FOOD will operate with a total budget of 4.284.619 Euros, 79% of which is devoted to operational support for SMEs.

**AGRI-FOOD EFFICIENCY WITH NEW ENERGY AUDIT MEASURES (AENEAM)**

The Project aims to accelerate the transition of Agri-food EU industry towards a sustainable growth model by increasing the up taking of the recommended measures form Energy Audits, encouraging companies (C10 - C11) to undergo energy audits and the subsequent implementation of the recommendations from these audits, promoting digital solutions. The war in Ukraine threatens food security at global level. Furthermore, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the growing risk of EU overdependency on global supply chains for key goods and technologies produced by third countries. All of this adds to the existing pressure that climate change puts on our food production systems and requires us to continually mitigate and adapt to changes. To combat environmental pollution and create a more sustainable food sector, energy use during manufacturing needs to be reduced. AENEAM offers an acceleration program tailored to the involved companies with high impact mentoring, steady network immersion, energy audits, specialized workshops for Re-skilling and enhancing the skills of energy technicians to strategic proposition to improve their know-how, green impact strategy at corporate culture and communication, business plans, access to investors and public funding, plus a digital solutions seminars and demonstrations. This acceleration program serves as a capacity building, a systematic approach of knowledge and skills development to ensure that the companies have the internal expertise to effectively implement change and improve performance of the measures. Operational services will complete and guide the measures deployment at individual level for companies and through the Local Pilots (4 countries) as grouping companies for join solutions. AENEAM team is composed of several technicians from 4 EU countries ES FR, IT and PL combining experts on energy audits and measures implementation, and agri-food clu
