The wine industry is full of possibilities! Whether it be in IoT, agricultural solutions, water, energy, circular economy, and more, the wine industry is a hub for cross sectoral solutions.  

WICA, the Wine Industry Cluster Alliance of the EPAWI project, the European Partnership for Auxiliary Wine Industry Innovation is inviting cluster managers and international project officers to a special webinar, Nov. 7th at 11 am (GMT+2), to learn more about WICA and how they can be part of this unique global alliance. Bringing together all initiatives that provide solutions and improvements in the wine value chain, WICA aims to face the challenges presented by grape and wine producers through cross-sectoral innovation, auxiliary companies’ involvement and Business Support Organisation collaboration. 

Through WICA, your cluster and your SMEs can: 

• gain access to the WICA (Wine Innovation Cluster Alliance) network, providing access to European and third country wine ecosystems, consolidating communication efforts to this effect, and sharing best practices related to innovation and internationalisation in the wine industry, 
• have the possibly to participate in the international ecosystem and prospection trips for wine innovation, scheduled in the USA and Chile/Argentina for 2023 and 2024, 
• profit from collective communication efforts about their solution to WICA partners and through official communication channels  

We will spend less than an hour presenting the actions of this alliance, and discussing the needs and interests of other clusters who have SME solutions that can be adapted to the wine industry.
