Project HELIX

If your food and drink company is based in Wales then you may be eligible for Project HELIX funded support from Food Innovation Wales. Eligible companies have access to a range of technical and commercial support from our food centres. Project HELIX is funded by the Welsh Government.

How can we help?

Project HELIX offers support that is tailored to your company’s needs. Project HELIX delivers practical knowledge transfer activity, supporting Welsh companies to develop and reformulate innovative products from concept, design, development and manufacture, through to the consumer’s shopping basket. Project HELIX works with Welsh companies to forensically analyse each step of the manufacturing process, identifying ways of introducing efficiencies across process controls, site design and systems development. Project HELIX’s strategic approach enables food producers in Wales to benefit from best practice and industry intelligence from across the world. For example, companies can receive help to achieve third party certification such as BRCGS and SALSA which open up new markets for their products.
