The TRADEIT project is looking for people, projects and enterprises with ideas, technologies and partnership opportunities relevant to food producers and innovators in the Traditional Agri-Food Sector.

One of the key activities of the TRADEIT project is the transfer of technologies and knowledge from innovators and researchers to entrepreneurial Traditional Food Producers.
