However, an examination of the main obstacles and strengths associated with the sector shows that resolving the challenges of developing innovative products and corresponding markets cannot be envisaged without intense collaboration among all stakeholders engaged in a winning strategy.

To allow the economic fabric of the sector to benefit from fifteen years of research, FENIP has compiled a synthesis of the most promising projects. The objective is to work with public and private stakeholders to encourage the industrialization of these projects and enable industry players to access support measures that assist them in all phases of production and up to the commercialization of innovative products in promising markets.

On our part, we are committed to working closely with the relevant stakeholders to meet the challenge of innovation and to push, as much as possible, the industrialists in our sector to align themselves with the international trend that is undergoing major disruptions in terms of innovation, sustainability, and digitalization.
