Ongoing R&D consultancy

High competitiveness means that for companies to reach their targets and to stand out in the market, they must increase their R&D activity and ensure that it is more streamlined. To do this companies need an additional extra in terms of knowledge, resources, experience and tools.

With its on-going R&D consultancy service, CNTA offers its full R&D potential as a technology centre specialising in the food industry, adapted to the individual needs of each company.

Ongoing Consultancy aims to expand the client’s R&D department capacities with CNTA’s knowledge, resources and experience, in a streamlined and flexible way, so the company can overcome challenges as they arise.
