Among the 16 winners is the project "REIF: Resource-efficient, Economic and Intelligent Foodchain", which aims to revolutionise the food industry in Germany to guarantee a supply that is as waste-free as possible. The CSCP is a partner of this research project which investigates the potential of AI to optimise the planning and control processes in the food industry. The CSCP will support the effective and efficient integration of all relevant stakeholders into the REIF ecosystem, both during and after the project.
