Competitiveness clusters
VEGEPOLYS VALLEY is a competitiveness cluster bringing together companies, research centers, and training institutions in the plant sector around innovative projects to strengthen business competitiveness. VEGEPOLYS VALLEY was born from the merger on June 27, 2019, of two competitiveness clusters recognized since 2005 by public authorities: Céréales Vallée - Nutravita based in Clermont-Ferrand and specialized in major crops, and VEGEPOLYS based in Angers and dedicated to specialized plant sectors. Both were recognized in their respective territories due to the high concentration of actors in their domains.
