2 EDITORIAL Par rapport à d autres dustries et secteurs high-tech, les responsables politiques ont souvent tendance à négliger l dustrie agro-alimentaire. Toutefois, ceux qui suivent ce secteur sont conscients de son importance réelle : l dustrie agro-alimentaire est le prcipal employeur de l Union européenne et la variété de ses productions fortement enracés dans les territoires contribue à faire de l Union européenne le leader mondial de ce secteur d activité. Je suis timement convacu que le succès économique de l dustrie agro-alimentaire européenne, face à des consommateurs particulièrement exigeants, repose pour l essentiel sur le savoir-faire, la technologie et l novation. Le secteur agro-alimentaire est sans doute celui qui est le plus confronté aux défis environnementaux, parce qu un nombre toujours plus grand de consommateurs privilégient des produits respectueux de l environnement. Dès lors, les éco-novations ont acquis une importance stratégique pour l ensemble de la chaîne agro-alimentaire. Je suis persuadé que l expertise des acteurs du secteur permettra à l dustrie agro-alimentaire de rester compétitive sur le plan du développement durable. Le secteur agro-alimentaire pourrait asi devenir un exemple de développement économique respectueux de l environnement. C est pourquoi je suis fier de la participation de la Commission européenne au projet EcoTroFood. La compétition EcoTrophelia illustre la vitalité du secteur en termes d novation : les étudiants révèlent aux entreprises les nouvelles tendances du marché à travers des projets éco-novants et les associations professionnelles, agences publiques et termédiaires privés leur apportent leur expertise spécifique en matière d novation. Personnellement, j attache une très grande importance au secteur agro-alimentaire. La Commission européenne a d ailleurs mis en place de nombreuses itiatives, notamment le Forum de haut niveau sur l amélioration du fonctionnement de la chaîne d approvisionnement alimentaire. Je souhaite bonne chance à l ensemble des participants à EcoTrophelia et j espère qu ils retireront de leurs éco-novations une immense satisfaction tant sur le plan professionnel que gastronomique. Antonio Tajani, Vice-président de la Commission européenne, chargé de l dustrie et de l entreprenariat. Compared to other dustries and to high-tech sectors, policy often neglects the food and beverages dustry. Those better formed are well aware of its real importance: it s the largest dustrial employer the European Union and the territorially-rooted variety of its products contributes to make the Union the leader the sector s world trade. I m strongly convced that the economic success of this sector the presence of consumers high expectations on quality and safety is based on a high level of knowledge, technologies and novations. The sector figures also among those facg the highest environmental challenges, while consumers make environmentally conscious choices. Along the entire food value cha, eco-novations are therefore strategically dispensable. I m confident that the knowledge available to the sector allows it to stay sustaably competitive. This sector can thus set an example for greeng dustry. I m therefore proud that the European Commission contributes to the EcoTroFood project. Its EcoTrophelia competition illustrates the vitality of the sector s novation system: students revealg trends with their creative eco novations for companies with dustrial associations, public agencies and private termediaries brgg their specific knowledge to the novation process. I personally attach great importance to this sector, as shown by our ongog activities such as the High Level Forum for a Better Food Supply Cha. I wish the participants of EcoTrophelia therefore great success with their eco novations terms of professional satisfaction and culary delight. Antonio Tajani, Vice-president of the European Commission charge of dustry and entrepreneurship

4 INTERVIEW Dr. Michael E. KNOWLES President of the Food For Life Platform, Vice-President Global Scientific & Regulatory Affairs, The Coca-Cola Company The availability of qualified and experienced personnel committed to research and novation is key to it s success ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE is a competition which not only attracts students from the food sector, but also presents an cubator for novative ideas for the food dustry. This itiative adheres perfectly to the Lisbon strategy of the European Commission which aims to boost novation order to crease the competitiveness of European dustries. In addition ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE is also agreement with the objectives laid out the European technology Platform «Food for Life». This Platform tegrates an educational dimension order to contribute to the development of skilled contributors the food dustry sector: by encouragg young people to choose a career the food dustry sector ; by raisg awareness of a culture of novation. The availability of qualified personnel sensitive to novation is a key condition for successful novation. The volvement of national food federations under the umbrella of FoodDrk Europe is a significant and positive sign of their willgness to encourage development of research and novation at product and manufacturg process levels. Si ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE est une compétition qui attire les étudiants du secteur agro-alimentaire, c est également un cubateur d idées novantes pour le secteur. Cette itiative s scrit dans le cadre de la stratégie de Lisbonne défie par la Commission européenne, dont l objectif consiste à promouvoir l novation dans le but d améliorer la compétitivité des dustries européennes. En outre, ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE répond aux objectifs défis par la Plate-forme technologique européenne «Food for Life» qui prévoit un volet «éducation» visant à contribuer à renforcer l attractivité et les compétences du secteur agro-alimentaire : en encourageant les jeunes à opter pour une carrière dans l dustrie agro-alimentaire ; en encourageant la mise en place d une culture de l novation. Pour être couronnée de succès, une politique d novation implique de disposer de personnels qualifiés sensibilisés à l importance de l novation. La participation de fédérations nationales du secteur agro-alimentaires à l itiative Food Drk Europe est un signe positif fort traduisant leur volonté de s vestir dans le développement de la recherche et de l novation, tant en ce qui concerne les produits que les méthodes de production. Peter VAN BLADEREN Research Centre Director, Nestlé ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE is a valuable itiative which promotes novation and creativity among students terested a career the food dustry. The challenge for students to develop new and terestg products, takg to account the technical, economic and regulatory parameters, is a formidable way to troduce them to the practices and endless opportunities of workg the world of R&D. Students are better prepared for their future profession, while busesses discover the origal ideas and approaches explored by the students. ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE est une itiative origale qui permet de promouvoir l novation au se du secteur agro-alimentaire par le biais des étudiants. Ces derniers sont cités à développer des produits novants qui tiennent compte de paramètres techniques, économiques et réglementaires. Cet exercice pratique permet une expérience de terra qui prépare les futurs professionnels aux contrates dustrielles liées à la recherche et au développement. C est également un formidable outil de promotion du potentiel créatif et novant des métiers du secteur agro-alimentaire permettant aux entreprises de bénéficier des idées les plus origales des étudiants.

5 INTERVIEW Daniele ROSSI Director General Federalimentare (Italian food dustry federation) At the European level, the establishment of the competition presents three advantages: the first is an aid to counter disterest observed with regard to food dustry jobs. This sector no longer seems attractive to young people different European countries even though the sector represents 4.3 million jobs. the second pot aims to fill the gap between the old and new members of the EU. The fact of mobilizg students, university and dustry members on the priorities Europeans themes allows easier transfer to and appropriation by companies different countries concerned. And of course the ecological aspect which is becomg more and more important our societies. Eco novation will be developed through Ecotrophelia and will allow the European food dustry to stay competitive. The whole production system is concerned: water consumption, waste production, carbon foot prt, packagg, energy, etc. This contest encourages Food-Drk SMEs to novate and give them access to excellent products for development. The dustry needs to constantly re-vent itself! Au niveau européen, la création de ce concours présente trois avantages : Tout d abord, on assiste à un décl de l térêt pour les métiers de l dustrie agro-alimentaire. Dans plusieurs pays européens, le secteur n attire plus les jeunes, même s il représente 4,3 millions d emplois. Ensuite, ce concours offre la possibilité de réduire l écart entre les anciens et les nouveaux États-membres de l UE. Mobiliser les étudiants des universités et les dustriels du secteur agro-alimentaire sur les thèmes prioritaires défis par l UE devrait permettre le transfert et l appropriation de nouvelles technologies par les entreprises des différents pays concernés. En outre, et pour conclure, rappelons l importance croissante de la dimension «respect de l environnement» au se de notre société, une tendance qui est appelée à se renforcer encore au cours des prochaes années. Le concours Ecotrophelia prend asi tout son sens et contribue à la compétitivité de l dustrie agro-alimentaire européenne. L ensemble de la chaîne de production est concernée : consommation en eau, production de déchets, emprete carbone, conditionnement, consommation énergétique, etc Ce concours vise à encourager les PME du secteur agro-alimentaire à vestir dans l novation et à leur offrir un accès à produits d excellence en attente de développement. L dustrie agro-alimentaire doit constamment se réventer. François MARIANI President of CCI Vaucluse Created 2000 by CCI Vaucluse, TROPHELIA, the student food novation trophies has contued to grow and evolve over time.
