Master Food Innovation & Product Design and its strategic partners

FIPDes is supported by an international network of more than 17 strategic partners from academic, research, industrial and non-profit bodies.

The close relationship with several R&D food industries and research institutions makes the curriculum especially designed to take into consideration the needs of potential employers.
Several partners contribute to the education and career development leading to gain professional competences and enhancing student’s employability. They act in training, promoting, sponsoring and advisory activities to make FIPDes a professional training programme adapted to today’s and tomorrow’s market needs.
