About the project
TDC-OLIVE project is an initiative included in the Sixth Framework
Programme of the European Union, aimed to table olive and olive
oil SMEs. Its main target is the creation of a physical and virtual
network of Technology Dissemination Centres (TDC) as means of support
to enterprises of this sector, as well as a bridge between them
and Research and Development institutions. We pretend to:
- Achieve a modern SME, with qualified staff, that employs new
technologies in order to access information and, in general, to
implement technological innovation systems
- Achieve an SME committed to the optimisation of the product
quality and to the treatment, recycling and reuse of all the wastes
generated in its activity
Since Mediterranean olive oil and table olive producers (particularly
SMEs ones) need to modernize and to increase their competitiveness,
TDCs aim to accelerate the necessary technology innovation process
of SMEs by establishing a training program and by providing updated
information in those topics of interest for SMEs. Simultaneously,
TDCs will carry out a series of actions and promotion activities
in order to achieve a certain change of mentality in central and
northern European consumers, thus an increase in the consumption
of olive oil and table olives.
One of the most important targets is to provide training modules
for SMEs, trying to cover all aspects involved in the normal industrial
processes for table olive and olive oil: tasting panels, waste minimization
and recycling, hazard analysis and quality systems.
