How Vinnova and TecnoVid operate

Vinnova and Tecnovid have been incorporated as stock corporations that function as follows:
• They identify the needs for innovation in the industry, conduct and manage research by research teams in conjunction with winery executives.

• They conduct research throughout the entire chain of value, from elaboration to commercialization.

• They transfer the results of the research and facilitate adoption of those results by the industry.

• They commercialize the results of research that produces products and/or services.
The Consortiums are certified as research centers from which tax benefits can be obtained.
The Consortiums employ a permanent staff of 7 officers, managed by a Managing Director. They will administrate the projects and coordinate wineries and researchers. They have asked each winery about their specific interest in working directly on a project. They will set up support committees with the group of wineries interested and the research team for each project. These winery/researcher committees will track the development of a project and plan the following stages. Once a year, the Consortiums will hold a seminar and transfer workshops where the work with the support committees will be presented.
