Description

The idea of establishment of the AGROFOOD Regional Cluster was born at the beginning of 2011 in the intellectual workshop of ASIMCOV, the Association of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises of Covasna County.

The Regional Cluster of Food Industry and Products – AGROFOOD was created to support the members in developping their management strategies, their brands, the professional training of their personel, harmonization and representation of their interests.

Our aim was to set up a wide partnership to support companies which provide agricultural products, to increase competitivity, where the common knowledge and the innovative skills concentrate on the re-search-development capacities. We have to harmonize in this partnership the interests of the entrepreneurs, the research sector, the local authorities, consulting firms and partner institutions, first in the Carpathian Curve, but also in the national and international cluster associations.
