This new entity is one of the 29 Catalan clusters that are part of the Catalu\u00f1a Clusters de ACCI\u00d3N program -the agency for the competitiveness of the company, under the Department of Enterprise and Knowledge-.<\/p>\n<p>The new cluster, which will keep the <strong>Foodservice Cluster<\/strong> name, currently gathers more than eighty companies with the aim of unifying agents and actors involved in the value chain of the organized social and commercial restoration sector. According to <em><strong>Raimon Bag\u00f3 \u201cwith this merge it is intended to increase the cluster\u2019s potential within the food sector, integrating the different agents in a more vertical and representative entity, as well as optimizing resources with a more global strategy\u201d.<\/strong><\/em> For Bag\u00f3, with this merge, \u201cthe restoration, along with health and nutrition, will incorporate a very important and complementary active that will bring a lot of added value to the cluster\u2019s chain value\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to the director of the ACTION Cluster Unit, Joan Mart\u00ed, \u201ccluster mergers are positive when they allow gaining critical mass without losing strategic focus, as in this case\u201d. According to Mart\u00ed, \u201cinternationally, the beginning of a trend of merging clusters is observed, since in a complex global environment there is dimension to articulate impact projects\u201d. \u201cThis trend has already started in Catalonia with the creation of the Catalionia Bio &amp; HealthTeach cluster and now we already have two cases, and surely there will be more in the future\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The objective of this merge is to share experiences and knowledge to <strong>boost new collaborative projects<\/strong> in the food and restoration scopes,\u00a0 in aspects such as food safety, personalized nutrition, ingredients development and functional foods or the improvement of the <strong>sector\u2019s sustainability<\/strong>. In this way, the Foodservice Cluster\u2019s activities for this 2020 will be organized based in <strong>six strategic axes<\/strong>: food safety, health and nutrition, digitalization, shared value, strategic change management, green, blue and circular economy, and the efficiency of human and productive resources on the farm.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, currently, the new entity has focused on the boost of projects to contribute to the <strong>fight against Covid-19<\/strong> from the food sector\u2019s point of view, as is the case of an initiative to support the restoration sector as consequence of the crisis through advanced reservations or to promote safety in restaurants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a cluster?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A cluster is a <strong>group of companies<\/strong> (startups, SMEs and multinationals) and <strong>surroundings agents <\/strong>(universities and technological centres) from a certain economic area that share resources, generate synergies and that project internationally. It is an instrument that <strong>improves competitiveness<\/strong> among members that are part from the development of joint transforming projects and the definition of strategic challenges for their sector. In Catalonia, the clusters represent the 30% of the GDP (74 billion euros of added billing) and generate more than 300.000 job positions.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, 29 clusters are part of the Catalu\u00f1a Clusters de ACCI\u00d3N program, an initiative driven to accompany the Catalan clusters to help them focus their strategy, train the cluster managers, co-finance strategic projects and organize trips to reference ecosystems for international benchmarking and close collaborative projects among Catalan clusters or international entities, among other initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7498\" src=\"https:\/\/serhsfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-foodservice.jpg_817076589-300x107.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/serhsfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-foodservice.jpg_817076589-300x107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/serhsfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-foodservice.jpg_817076589-280x100.jpg 280w, https:\/\/serhsfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-foodservice.jpg_817076589.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foodservice Cluster\u2019s president, Raimon Bag\u00f3, Serhs Food General Director, aims to group in a single cluster the set of actors that are involved in the social and commercial restoration sector\u2019s value chain to boost collaborative projects in the fields of food safety, personalized nutrition or sustainability.
