There are market leaders who have the best knowledge and resources to use the relevant tools and technologies in their daily operation, and there are small players who has limited capabilities or only able to follow these – in all of the cases it is inevitable to get to know and utilize these technics to keep and increase competitiveness. Researches and studies has a very important role to explore these opportunities and what is more to transfer the knowledge to the participants has no access at first hand. It is specifically valid for sectors like food industry and FMCG segment where we can face with falling competition and increasing pressure caused by the higher expectations but in parallel several innovative solutions as well.
