Mission
Expertise and Opportunities at the Service of Businesses.
Turning opportunities into concrete projects
The mission of Vinum&Cibus Italici is to support the growth and competitiveness of member companies through promotion, development and internationalisation projects, providing expertise, tools and access to funding opportunities.
The Consortium supports companies in identifying the opportunities best suited to their needs and in developing shared projects, with the aim of strengthening their presence in the markets and creating new opportunities for growth.
Monitoring opportunities
An important part of the Consortium's activities is the continuous monitoring of regional, national and European calls for proposals and funding programmes aimed at the wine and agri-food sectors.
The opportunities identified are analysed in relation to the needs of member companies, assessing their requirements, objectives and potential applications.
In this way, the Consortium can turn the opportunities offered by funding programmes into concrete project proposals, developed around the objectives of the companies and their target markets.
From project design to implementation
Vinum&Cibus Italici supports companies throughout the different stages of the project cycle: from identifying funding opportunities and defining the initiative, to preparing and submitting the documentation, through to coordinating and managing the activities planned within the project.
Working as a group makes it possible to develop broader initiatives by sharing expertise, resources and objectives, creating favourable conditions for undertaking activities that may be more difficult to manage individually.
Promotion and internationalisation
The Consortium's mission is also put into practice through activities focused on the promotion of Italian products and expansion into new markets.
Trade fairs, workshops, tastings, events, B2B meetings, communication activities and initiatives aimed at professional operators are among the tools that enable companies to engage with new business contacts and strengthen their presence in international markets.
Particular attention is paid both to established markets and emerging areas, identifying opportunities that are consistent with the characteristics of the products and the objectives of the companies involved.

A network that creates opportunities
The mission of Vinum&Cibus Italici goes beyond access to funding.

For this reason, the Consortium works to build a network where companies, professionals, institutions and like-minded organisations can collaborate on the development of new projects and the promotion of Italian excellence.
