RMTs at the heart of agri-food innovation for the next five years

Published on: February 9, 2026

The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty recently approved nine mixed technology networks (RMTs) in the agri-food sector for a period of five years starting in January 2026, following an evaluation process based on the opinions of the ACTIA Scientific and Technical Council, the technical institutes for the agri-food sector, which coordinates the process for the agri-food sector.

As a committed player in agri-food innovation, the CTCPA is involved in several of these RMTs, either as a leader or co-leader, focusing on major issues for the sectors:

CHLEAN – Sustainable workshop hygiene (CTCPA)


ECOFLUIDS – Energy & Water Efficiency (CTCPA)


ECOVAL – Eco-design (CTCPA & ITERG)


FLOREPRO – Biopreservation of food (ADIV)


JUSTE FORMULATION – Reasoned food formulation (ADRIA, ADRIANOR & CRITT AGRO ALIMENTAIRE – LA ROCHELLE)


QUADIFERM – Fermented and distilled beverages (IFPC & IFV)


- QUALIMA – Microbiological quality of food (ACTALIA & AERIAL-CRT)

PROPACK FOOD – Sustainable packaging and food (CTCPA & LNE)


TRANSFOBIO – Processing of organic products (CRITT AGROALIMENTAIRE SUD & ITAB)

These RMTs are structured scientific and technical partnerships that promote synergies between research, development, and training, enabling scientific findings to be transformed into concrete solutions for agri-food companies.

A big thank you to all the partners, organizations, and individuals involved in this collective effort.
