Look Mom! No hands anywhere! Automaton in production is the way to go when faced with demographic challenges in Europe. With experienced workers leaving for retirement and new generations not imagining themselves in factory and warehouse jobs, the need for automation has never been greater. This is parallel to the consumers' expectations of unparalleled and consistent high-quality products in high volumes. Go robots! #arlafoods #automation #itcareers

At the request of many, below is the English version of the press release following the Armenian wine delegation's visit to France, in the Region Grand Est. Following the recent visit of the Armenian wine delegation to the Region Grand Est of France, I am pleased to announce the successful outcomes and future collaboration prospects between Armenia and Region Grand Est. This marks the culmination of over a year of efforts with the “Comité Feuille de Route-Ambitions France-Arménie”(France-Armenia Cooperation Roadmap Committee) to establish the first major cooperation in wine between France, with the Region Grand Est, and Armenia, with the Vine & Wine Foundation. This cooperation will be structured in several areas: - Technical cooperation, to facilitate the exchange of experiences and best practices among winegrowers, particularly in organic viticulture ; - Economic cooperation, to create commercial collaborations and tourism partnerships around wine tourism between the Grand Est Region and Armenia ; - Scientific cooperation, among research institutes for the development of joint research programs involving Armenian and French scientists, particularly concerning remedies against diseases affecting vines (phylloxera, downy mildew, golden flavescence...), adapting vineyards to the effects of climate change, and developing new resistant species ; - Training cooperation, to promote student exchange programs between wine schools, professional training, internships, and joint educational programs ; - Institutional cooperation, between professional organizations for the development and protection of appellations of origin, the organization of the sector, and its financing based on the French contributory model. Valérie Debord, Vice-President of the Region Grand Est, and Zaruhi Muradyan, Director of the Vine & Wine Foundation, announced the upcoming establishment of a roadmap to formalize these cooperation initiatives. A delegation from the Region Grand Est is expected to visit Armenia as early as next April to further solidify these partnerships. And very soon... new cooperation projects will emerge, again with the support of “Comité Feuille de Route-Ambitions France-Arménie”, in various sectors such as renewable energy, with Solgès Group; professional training, with FAARALP and RELQ ; francophonia development, with Serge Avédikian’s bilingual drama theater workshop and Arteva ; sustainable tourism, with Miassine... Long live to cooperation between France and Armenia!

As we enter the festive Christmas season, we gather around tables filled with traditional flavours - like the comforting sweetness of rice pudding. But, what if it could be a crispy and low sugar content rice pudding? A strange, but a very creative twist developed by Bruna Antunes, Rafaela Vieira and Patrícia Godinho with whom i had the priviledge to colaborate, alongside with Sílvia Petronilho, Manuel A. Coimbra and Claudia Albino. This innovation is part of "Creating the foods of the future", a remarkable highlight that showcases the potential of our talented students to shape the future of food. By blending creativity and science, they are crafting innovations that honor our traditions, history, and cultural heritage while paving the way for exciting new possibilities. A beautiful reminder that the future of food can be both groundbreaking and deeply rooter in who we are. Universidade de Aveiro, Laboratório Associado para a Química Verde (LAQV/REQUIMTE)

The Fantastic World of the Portuguese Sardine is featured in Imagens de Marca, on TV channel SIC Notícias. The program assumes itself as a "guardian of brands" and visited The Fantastic World of Portuguese Sardine (a brand by Grupo O Valor Do Tempo) to find out how we transformed a traditional industry into an added-value experience. The report highlighted the brand's incursion that crossed the Atlantic and opened the first store in the middle of Times Square. For Sónia Santiago Felgueiras, Marketing Director of the brand, "it was an affirmation of the capacity that Portuguese canned fish have. We believed that there is immense potential and we are very satisfied with the results of our presence in New York, not only because of the way the store is running, but because it represents an emotional embassy of Portugal there, in the center of the world, in a place that is visited by millions of people every year." The Portuguese Secretary of State for Fisheries, Cláudia Monteiro de Aguiar, recalls that "fishing is not simply a contribution to the economy, but has all this involvement of tradition, culture and territorial cohesion, closely linked to tourism and gastronomy". Portuguese canned fish is today, more than ever, an extraordinary business card of Portugal and a delicacy par excellence appreciated all over the world. Show original ·

This #WorldWaterDay, we’re proud to celebrate 20 years of Suntory Mizuiku – our next-generation environmental education programme on nature and water. We’ve had 20 incredible years of engaging with passionate children and having them experience the wonder of nature. In the last 5 years, Mizuiku programmes have launched across Thailand, Vietnam, and most recently in New Zealand. Students have learnt about the importance of water conservation and what they can do to pass on the importance of preserving water resources to their peers and communities. 💧 🌍 To date, more than 330,000 students in APAC directly, and many more indirectly, have participated in the programme.    Water is the source of all lives on our planet. As a beverage business, water is critical in our aim to enrich the everyday lives of our consumers with high quality products. Today, we celebrate how far we’ve come and how much further we’ll go to protect our water resources and live in harmony with nature. The more we continue #GrowingforGood, the greater our positive impact can be. 🏞️ 🌳   #OneSuntory #Sustainability #GrowingGreen

🎉 2023 and half of 2024 were an extremely challenging milestone in my career where I had to Lead OENOMED_ ENI CBC MED Project in a very critical phase, where all its indicators were near 0 and the ambition to realize in one year what was not achieved in 2 previous years. However, Thanks to the trust and determination of my Tunisian team, to the incredible empowerment of my leadership by my client utica, to the support of the Tunisian and international partners.. you know what? We did it 😅 Last week we received the evaluation of the managing authority of #ENI_CBC_Med Program and reading the evaluation was a heartwarming moment for me: « Suite à la finalisation de l’analyse du Rapport finale et de ses annexes, veuillez trouver ci-dessous les résultats de l’évaluation du STC et des clarifications sur l’éligibilité des dépenses déclarées et sur le calcul du solde final. La note attribuée par le STC au rapport est « 3 » (good) avec les commentaires suivants : The project has achieved all the expected results despite the instability in the partnership: the local charters and the Med charter constitute a unique common base of sustainable agricultural practices that wine-producing MSMEs must follow in order to become green businesses; The Memoranda of Understanding on Local Action Plans ‘vineyards of the future Zoning’ are the first step towards multiplying the results of the project by committing decision-makers to the project's recommendations for broadening the impact on future areas. The Reservin brand, through the marketing strategy and dedicated website, represents an important foundation for MSME collectives seeking to position themselves in the winegrowing market with matchmaking between the qualitative values of sustainable wines and the target markets of consumers and business networks, paving the way for the creation of a management entity for the Reservin collective with assets from OENOMED and the project's MSME cluster. It defines the collective's rules of governance, its business model and the terms and conditions of membership of the new ‘VAPMED/ RESERVIN’ guarantee brand. The Lead Beneficiary made strong efforts to coordinate and implement activities balancing the withdrawal of 3 partners and their replacement with institutions having the same characteristics, even if management has not always been smooth and linear (...) To this aim, there were a lot of efforts invested in year 2023. Some of the activities were taken over by the new partners, other activities from the exiting partners were shared among the old partners that remained in the partnership.» It's amazing to grow this way, knowing the efforts are always rewarded, somehow! 🏆 🎈 Ready for the next adventure and more confident than ever!
