BIOVEGEN participated last Wednesday in the “PERTE AGROALIMENTARIO Axis 3 R&D” day organized by the National Technological Center for Agrifood of Extremadura (CTAEX). The meeting was dedicated to presenting the news of the “Axis 3 R&D” of this strategic project that was approved last February 8. The AGROALIMENTARIO PERTE aims to recover and transform the economic condition of the agricultural, livestock, and fishing sectors, primarily involving producers, the agrifood industry, and the distribution sector. This PERTE encompasses a set of aids with a total budget of 1,002 million euros from the NEXT GENERATION EU funds. The aids included in the AGRO PERTE are structured into 3 axes:
- Axis 1: Industrial strengthening of the agrifood sector, managed by the MINCOTUR, with a budget of 400 million euros;
- Axis 2: Digitization of the agrifood sector, which includes lines of support to be managed by MAPA, or by MINECO, or ENISA. The total budget for this axis will be 454.35 million euros;
- Axis 3: R&D+i in the agrifood area, managed by MAPA and MICIN, with a budget of 148.56 million euros.
