36 Food for Life NTPs: think locally, act globally! COORDINATOR: Italian Food for Life
WHAT ARE NTPs The consultations on the ETP Stakeholders Strategic Research Agenda held between April 2006 and January 2007 have resulted in National Food Platforms. NTPs are the voice of the national food industry (industry-led, public/private partnerships). National Federations are the key founders, leaders and actors. They are a response to Major European and National Challenges. They represent a valuable means of networking stakeholder communities of the agri-food sector in the MS through the coordination of research, development and innovation activities at national level ( bottom-up approach). They provide an efficient channel for two - way communication with the ETP. They provide support and assistance to new and emerging Platforms.
Since April 2006 36 NTPs were established under the umbrella of Food for Life: 1. ALBANIA 2. AUSTRIA 3. BELGIUM FLANDERS 4. BELGIUM WALOON 5. BULGARIA 6. CZECH REPUBLIC 7. DENMARK 8. ESTONIA 9.

NTPs normally follow a three-stage bottom-up process of development. The same followed by the ETP: A COMMON VISION AN AGREED STRATEGIC RESARCH & INNOVATION AGENDA A COSTED & MANAGED IMPLEMENTATION ACTION PLAN
Partnership with other stakeholders, improving mutual understanding and trust. Overview of new trends/ideas forecasted key research areas at EU level. Increased involvement of Industry in R+D. Framework for technology transfer, tailor made information and communication system for SMEs. Better focus and target ETP proposals, position papers. Promote, organise and conduct precompetitive research projects.
