Creating Entrepreneurs in Food aims to boost innovation and entrepreneurship in rural communities. The project is led by the project coordinator Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Ireland working in partnership with the University of Bedfordshire in the UK, CEJA in Belgium and the Polish Beef Association, Poland.

The project will examine short food supply chains in Europe and aims to identify innovative methods that may overcome the current challenges food producers face. The main outputs of the project will include a training course for food producers developed by industry and academic leaders aimed at providing producers with the transversal skillsets that will empower them to gain control of their business, promote innovation, create employment and move up the value chain. The second output will be the development of an online web portal that will stimulate the flow and exchange of knowledge and best practice between education and enterprises allowing food producers to connect and collaborate with one another.
