FFoQSI K1-Center

Goal: Safe and sustainable design of food and food products

Home Center of Excellence CoE Food technology and… FFoQSI K1-Center

The FFoQSI (Austrian Competence Centre for Feed and Food Quality, Safety and Innovation) research program covers selected topics along the entire value chains of plant-based feed and food (green value chain) and animal-based food (red value chain). Scientific methods are used to research sustainable improvements in production. Strategic research is dedicated to the fundamentals and the resulting development of innovative and universally applicable technologies for improved, faster and simpler hygiene, quality and authenticity controls along the value chains.

FFoQSI examines relevant topics in the field of feed and food and combines the expertise of renowned Austrian research institutions with the experience of over 30 innovative and research-oriented companies from several countries.

Research projects are carried out in teams with the respective partners and the companies are supported by professional project management. FFoQSI helps in the search for suitable cooperation partners, supports the planning of research projects and provides the necessary overview with regular progress reports.
