Obiettivo
GROW is to develop and test a potentially global trading infrastructure through real trading. The structure will integrate people and organisations in specialised food trading, retrieval systems relevant to live trading in the sector, a communication infrastructure and imaging system, process information systems, and software and applications for using information. Participants are to include production-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), national small business organisations, distributors, retailers and individual consumers. The project will result in active trading across the five pilot countries taking part.
The aim of the GROW Project is to create and actively test through real trading the development of a potentially global trading infrastructure (GTI). As such, the structure created is intent on integrating five elements:
1. The people and organisations who are involved both actually and potentially in specialised food trading.
2. A communication infrastructure and imaging system.
3. Process information systems.
4. The software and applications that enable people to use information.
5. Content or information retrieval systems relevant to live trading in the specialist food area (whether audio, video, text or image). All with a strong emphasis on interoperability.
The GROW consortium involves representatives from all the relevant user groups in the specialised food sector, SME food producers, national small business organisations, distributors, and retailers as well as individual consumers drawn in via the teleshopping pilot. By the end of the project, the pilots in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Greece, will be linked and actively trading via the GROW demonstrator.
