Vice-president of the European Commission, in charge of Industry and Entrepreneurship
European Commission
“The food industry ranks first in the European manufacturing sector in terms of added
value,employment and raw material usage.It is a pillar of European industry,which is more
resistant to the economic crisis than other industries, and has a massive trade surplus. In
addition, food supply is intimately linked both to European cultures and management of
natural resources. For all these reasons this sector is important to me.
The environmental impact of the food industry is high, hence the importance of an
innovative and ecological policy in this area.Taking into account the elements of sustainable
development in the development of food products has become an environmental
requirement, but also a major challenge for the competitiveness of agribusinesses in future
years. Efficient use of resources is effectively one of the key factors in ensuring sustainable
growth in the “Europe 2020” Strategy. The transition to a more sustainable food industry
sector will require coordinated action at all levels, from global to local.
A project like EcoTroFood involves different domains: eco-innovation, entrepreneurship
and requires taking into account environmental considerations. This is why DG Enterprise
and Industry of the European Commission decided in late 2010, in view of the success
of the young food industry’s innovators competition “Trophélia France”, to expand the
French initiative and give it a European and ecological dimension by incorporating it into
its CIP (Competitiveness and Innovation Programme) under the name EcoTroFood. The
ECOTROPHELIA competitions have proven to be true catalysts for the promotion of creativity
and the training of young entrepreneurs with eco-innovative solutions in the food industry.
EcoTroFood also helps to facilitate cooperation between various actors (stakeholders) in
the eco-innovation and the food processing industry through new and better services to
support innovation, to bridge the gap between research and development and marketing
for eco-innovative SMEs. Support for young entrepreneurs and SMEs is a real priority for
me and EcoTroFood is an essential complement to other European initiatives such as the
EU 2020 Innovation Union, the «Small Business Act», the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs
and objectives of the European Enterprise Network as well as the activities of «high-level
forum on improving the functioning of the food supply chain.
That is why I am proud of the European Commission’s participation in the EcoTroFood
project.
I wish good luck to all the ECOTROPHELIA participants and I hope they will gain immense
satisfaction, both professionally and gastronomically, from their eco-innovations”.

La Commission européenne
« L’industrie agro-alimentaire occupe le premier rang du secteur manufacturier européen en termes de valeur ajoutée, d’emploi et d’utilisation
de matières premières. C’est un pilier de l’industrie européenne, qui résiste mieux à la crise économique que d’autres industries, et qui dégage
un excédent commercial considérable. Par ailleurs, l’alimentation est intiment liée à la fois aux cultures européennes et à la gestion des
ressources naturelles. Pour toutes ces raisons, c’est un secteur qui me tient à cœur.
L’impact environnemental de l’industrie agroalimentaire est élevé, d’où l’importance d’une politique innovatrice et écologique dans ce secteur.
La prise en compte des éléments de développement durable dans l’élaboration des produits agroalimentaires est devenue une exigence
environnementale, mais aussi un enjeu majeur de la compétitivité des entreprises agroalimentaires pour les années futures. L’utilisation
efficace des ressources est en effet un des facteurs clés pour assurer la croissance durable par la Stratégie Europe 2020. La transition vers un
secteur agro-alimentaire plus durable nécessitera des actions coordonnées à tous les niveaux, du global au local.
UnprojetcommeEcoTroFoodagitsurplusieursleviers:l’éco-innovation,l’espritd’entrepriseetl’intégrationdeconsidérationsenvironnementales.
C’est pourquoi la DG Entreprises et Industrie de la Commission européenne a décidé fin 2010, vu le succès de la compétition de jeunes
innovateurs de l’agro-alimentaire Trophélia France, d’élargir cette initiative française et d’y donner une dimension européenne et écologique
en l’incorporant dans son programme CIP (Programme-cadre pour la compétitivité et l’innovation), sous le nom EcoTroFood. Les compétitions
ECOTROPHELIA se sont avérées des véritables catalyseurs pour la promotion de la créativité et la formation de jeunes entrepreneurs aux
solutions éco-innovantes dans l’agroalimentaire. EcoTroFood aide également à faciliter la coopération entre les différents intervenants dans
l’éco-innovation et l’industrie de transformation alimentaire, via de nouveaux et meilleurs services de soutien à l’innovation, pour combler le
fossé entre recherche et développement et la commercialisation pour les PME éco-innovantes. Le soutien aux jeunes entrepreneurs et aux
PMEs est une véritable priorité pour moi et EcoTroFood est un complément essentiel à d’autres initiatives européennes comme EU 2020 l’Union
de l’innovation, le «Small Business Act», le Programme Erasmus pour jeunes entrepreneurs et les objectifs du European Enterprise Network
ainsi que les activités du «Forum à haut niveau sur l’amélioration du fonctionnement de la chaîne d’approvisionnement alimentaire».
C’est pourquoi je suis fier de la participation de la Commission européenne au projet EcoTroFood.
Je souhaite bonne chance à l’ensemble des participants à EcoTrophelia et j’espère qu’ils retireront de leurs éco-innovations une immense
satisfaction tant sur le plan professionnel que gastronomique ».

“The availability of qualified and experienced personnel committed to research and innovation is key to its success.
ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE is a competition which not only attracts students from the food sector, but also presents an incubator for
innovative ideas for the food industry. This initiative adheres perfectly to the Lisbon strategy of the European Commission which
aims to boost innovation in order to increase the competitiveness of European industries.
In addition ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE is also in agreement with the objectives laid out in the European technology Platform « Food
for Life ». This Platform integrates an educational dimension in order to contribute to the development of skilled contributors in
the food industry sector:
• by encouraging young people to choose a career in the food industry sector ;
• by raising awareness of a culture of innovation.
The availability of qualified personnel sensitive to innovation is a key condition for successful innovation. The involvement of
national food federations under the umbrella of FoodDrinkEurope is a significant and positive sign of their willingness to encourage
development of research and innovation at product and manufacturing process levels”.
Peter VAN BLADEREN
Global Head Regulatory and Scientific Affairs, Nestlé SA
“ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE helps to promote innovation and creativity
among students interested in a career in the food industry.The challenge
for students to develop new and interesting products, taking into account
the technical, economic and regulatory parameters, is a formidable
way to introduce them to the practices and endless opportunities of
working in the world of R&D. Students are better prepared for their future
profession, while businesses discover the original ideas and approaches
explored by the students”.

« Si ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE est une compétition qui attire les étudiants du secteur agro-alimentaire, c’est également un
incubateur d’idées innovantes pour le secteur. Cette initiative s’inscrit dans le cadre de la stratégie de Lisbonne définie
par la Commission européenne, dont l’objectif consiste à promouvoir l’innovation dans le but d’améliorer la compétitivité
des industries européennes.
En outre, ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE répond aux objectifs définis par la Plate-forme technologique européenne « Food for Life » qui prévoit un volet « éducation » visant à
contribuer à renforcer l’attractivité et les compétences du secteur agro-alimentaire :
• en encourageant les jeunes à opter pour une carrière dans l’industrie agro-alimentaire ;
• en encourageant la mise en place d’une culture de l’innovation.
Pour être couronnée de succès, une politique d’innovation implique de disposer de personnels qualifiés sensibilisés à l’importance de l’innovation.
La participation de fédérations nationales du secteur agro-alimentaires à l’initiative FoodDrinkEurope est un signe positif fort traduisant leur volonté de s’investir dans
le développement de la recherche et de l’innovation, tant en ce qui concerne les produits que les méthodes de production ».
« ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE permet de promouvoir l’innovation au sein du secteur agro-
alimentaire par le biais des étudiants. Ces derniers sont incités à développer des produits
innovants qui tiennent compte de paramètres techniques, économiques et réglementaires.
Cet exercice pratique permet une expérience de terrain qui prépare les futurs professionnels
aux contraintes industrielles liées à la recherche et au développement. C’est également
un formidable outil de promotion du potentiel créatif et innovant des métiers du secteur
agro-alimentaire permettant aux entreprises de bénéficier des idées les plus originales des
étudiants ».

François MARIANI
President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Vaucluse
“ECOTROPHELIA is a great adventure, an adventure born in Avignon, Provence, in the South of France. The Chamber of Commerce
and Industry of Vaucluse, with its partners and stakeholders in the food industry, launched in 2000 the student food innovation
awards for promoting excellence and innovation in this characteristic sector of our region.
Given the success of this enterprise, ECOTROPHELIA exceeded its national framework and took on a European dimension in 2008.
This success is the result of extensive partnerships at local, national and European levels. The different players in this project have
found a powerful complement to creating a dynamic structure to benefit the entire industry. ECOTROPHELIA is a major European
melting pot of innovation and competitiveness in the food industry.
The European Commission confirmed its support by mandating the CCI of Vaucluse in 2011 to implement a European project to
promote eco-innovation in the food chain: ECOTROFOOD.
This year ECOTROPHELIA Europe sees Universities competing from 18 different countries. This clearly demonstrates how the local
experience of a territory can feed the actions at European level and even become a reference. It is a point of pride for entrepreneurs
in the Vaucluse who have invested their energy in promoting this sector. They are now recognized at the highest level of legitimacy
and relevance for their work.
Yes, entrepreneurs and food industry players in Europe, we have a common goal to build the services of this sector and its
businesses. Because it is our duty to work towards an area where the global competitiveness of European companies is widely
proven and recognized. We must make the most of Europe’s best economical assets.
In this sense of commitment of our Chamber of Commerce and Industry and our partners, I want to thank them sincerely for their
support and loyalty.”
« ECOTROPHELIA est une belle aventure ! Une aventure née à Avignon en Provence, dans le sud de la France. La Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie
de Vaucluse, avec ses partenaires et avec les acteurs de la filière professionnelle, a lancé en 2000 les trophées étudiants de l’innovation alimentaire pour
promouvoir l’excellence et l’innovation dans ce secteur d’activité si caractéristique de notre région.
Face au succès de cette entreprise, ECOTROPHELIA a dépassé son cadre national et a pris une dimension européenne dès 2008. Cette réussite est le fruit de
larges partenariats au niveau local, national et européen. Les différents acteurs ont trouvé une belle complémentarité pour créer une dynamique structurante
et bénéfique à toute la filière. ECOTROPHELIA est un rendez-vous européen majeur de l’innovation et de la compétitivité des entreprises agroalimentaires.
La Commission Européenne l’a reconnue en mandatant la CCI de Vaucluse en 2011 pour mettre en œuvre un projet européen de promotion de l’éco-
innovation dans la filière agroalimentaire : ECOTROFOOD.
Cette année, ECOTROPHELIA Europe voit concourir des Universités de 18 pays différents. C’est dire combien l’expérience locale d’un territoire peut nourrir les
actions au niveau européen et même devenir une référence. C’est une fierté pour les entrepreneurs de Vaucluse qui ont déployé leur énergie pour promouvoir
cette filière. Ils voient aujourd’hui reconnus au plus haut niveau la légitimité et l’intérêt de leur action.
Oui, entrepreneurs et acteurs de la filière agroalimentaire d’Europe, nous avons une ambition commune à construire au service de ce secteur et de ses
entreprises. Car il est de notre devoir d’œuvrer en faveur d’un domaine où la compétitivité mondiale des entreprises européennes est très largement avérée
et reconnue. Il faut savoir valoriser au maximum ses meilleurs atouts.
C’est tout le sens de l’engagement de notre Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie et de nos partenaires, que je tiens à remercier pour leur soutien et leur
fidélité. »

Contact name: Tatiana Giro
Want to impress your friends with a
surprising challenge? Want to stand out
by offering an amazing appetizer? Look no
further - with Crikizz, insects will be part of
your party!
Crikizz have surprised the appetizer world
with a range of mealworm based snacks
and now challenge consumers to enjoy a
unique ingredient: insects.Insects have real known and recognized
potential: in short, they are nutritious and
ecological! But it goes without saying that
the image of this food substance does not
play in its favor. So there is work to be done
to enhance their palatability and it is this
challenge that Crikizz have taken on. In
addition, with their unique manufacturing
process, Crikizz contain far less fat than
usual aperitif nibbles. Combining pleasure
and practicality Crikizz offer a surprising
product for consumers looking for new
sensations.
Crikizz is marketed by Ynsect, a young
company founded in late 2011 that has
decided to create and sell finished products
prepared with European insects destined
for human and animal consumption.
To position itself as a pioneer in the
industry, the company is studying various
research themes: the nutritional qualities
of each species, studies to improve the
environmental impact of the production of
insects and the use of by-products of the
protein extraction.
SOcrock is a new and sustainable product made
from white sorghum, an old and less demanding
cereal with great potential. With an essential and
natural recipe, SOcrock is a bi-taste snack (half
chocolate, half cereal) crunchy, light, and rich
in fiber, which gratifies without swelling. It is a
handy and fast hunger-cruncher to keep always
in your bag. With an attractive design, it can be
eaten at any time and everywhere. Simple but
not obvious, SOcrock marks a return to origins
with a twist. With only 88 Kcal per bar, it satisfies
your greediness without guilt. But SOcrock is
not only taste and pleasure. Naturalness and
innovation make it an eco-friendly snack: with
nutritional properties similar to corn, sorghum
has lower water requirements and greater
adaptability. In SOcrock, white sorghum is used
in various forms: as blown grains, as syrup and
as fiber. SOcrock’s nutritional added value is
provided by ingredients obtained from what the
food industry considers as byproducts (fiber and
grape seeds). The supply of raw materials and
the finished product are manufactured and made
achievable within a few kilometers. The primary
packaging is fully recyclable, while the secondary
has been replaced by a multipack where more
bars are joined by adhesive side. The impact on
the ecosystem has resulted in an environmental
label, applied to develop customer’s awareness,
encouraging behavioral change in favor of
environment: SOcrock always falls in the best
categories of sustainability.
“An environmentally friendly product, prepared
from pork, lamb, beef”.
Raw meat and specially introduced bacterial
agents, the so-called «starter cultures» Bacto
Flavor ® BFL-FO2 are used to speed up the
process and give the product an attractive color
and natural protection from pathogenic flora.
In addition, the use of starter cultures Bacto
Flavor ® BFL-FO2 produces a product similar
in taste and texture to traditional crisps. Beef
from animals raised on clean feed is used in
the production of Meat Chips. The remoteness
of the natural pastures from industrial sites and
a ban on the use of forage crops that ensures
ecological safety is another important factor in
favor of using beef as raw material. The use of
raw organic beef, bacterial starter cultures Bacto
Flavor ® BFL-FO2, as well as fermentation and
drying, has allowed us to create an ecologically
safe technology for meat chips «Volga».The food product is marketed by the company
«Фамильные sausages» the owner of one of
the largest meat-processing plants in the Volga
region, and of the production of semi-finished
products, with a total production capacity of
over 25 tons per year. «Фамильные sausages»
also has its own logistics center and 7 sales
offices around the Volga region.

Innovation Framework Programme (C.I.P). «EcoTroFood» is a Europe-
wide project (2011-2013) that aims to promote eco-innovation in the
food industry.
PARTICIPANTS
The ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE competition is directed at any national
organisation incorporated as a food association or national industry
platform (regardless of the legal structure - association, company...)
recognized by the ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE Organizing Committee.
The national organiser is hereafter called «the Participant».

European judging panel will be formed, composed of representative
figures from the food and distribution industry sector, members of the
European Commission, an industrial representative from the national
food industry and appointed by the Participant, as well as specialists
in food innovation.
The European judging panel will assess the students’ presentation in
English and the products’ taste qualities.
During the selection process, each team will present their product in
English, organize a tasting of the product and answer questions from
the judging panel.
Each member of the judging panel will give a score for each project.
The mark for each project is determined by the average of the marks
given to each dossier by the members of the judging panel. The
highest mark will go to the project, which the judging panel thinks
best corresponds to the criteria set out in the specifications.The three
winning projects will be the three that received the top three highest
scores from the judging panel.

projects receive the same mark, a second mark will be given after
further discussion of said projects by members of the judging panel.
If the projects concerned receive the same mark again, the best
project will be decided by drawing lots.
Each judging panel member shall be subject to the principle of
impartiality inherent to the ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE competition. The
industrial representative, judging panel member, appointed by each
Participant to represent the national food industry, cannot judge the
product presented by their own country’s national team.

ANUGA – Host of ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE 2013
5th to 9th October 2013
With approximately 6,700 suppliers from about 100 countries and ca. 160,000 buyers from 180 countries, the 32nd Anuga (Cologne, 5th to
to 9th October 2013) will again be the global hub for the trade in food and beverages. The world’s leading trade fair will ﬁll the entire Cologne
exhibition centre — a total of 284,000 m² of gross exhibition space in eleven halls, including some with more than one level.
“10 specialized trade shows under one roof” — Anuga sets the standard with this trade fair concept. Based on themes and focal points, the
ten specialized trade shows give a clear structure to the fair and for the attendees. Thus Anuga presents suppliers from all over the world,
ranging from small and midsized companies to market leaders within their respective segment.Anuga is open exclusively to trade visitors from
the food trade and the food service sector.
Anuga’s supporting programme is interesting and informative at the same time. It will kick off with the Anuga Executive Summit, a get-
together for members of the industry and the trade at the highest level. Other events at the fair will include the Frozen Food event, the Meat
Essential get-together for the meat segment, the WellFood Congress and the second European Halal Conference. Again Anuga will stage the
ECOTROPHELIA European Food Innovation Student Awards, which honour the winners in a Europe-wide contest for students for the creation
of new eco-innovative food products.
Avec environ 6.700 fournisseurs venant d’une centaine de pays et (circ.) 160.000 acheteurs de 180 pays, le 32ème Salon Anuga (Cologne, du 5 au 9 Octobre
2013) sera de nouveau la plaque tournante mondiale pour le commerce agroalimentaire. Le salon, qui est le leader mondial, va remplir l’ensemble du centre
des expositions de Cologne - un total de 284.000 m² de surface d’exposition brute dans onze halles, dont certaines avec plus d’un niveau.
«10 salons spécialisés sous un même toit» - l'Anuga met la barre haute avec ce concept d’exposition. Basé sur des thématiques et des points focaux, les dix
salons spécialisés donnent une structure claire à l’exposition ainsi qu’aux participants. Ainsi l'Anuga présente les fournisseurs venus du monde entier, allant
des petites et moyennes entreprises, aux leaders du marché dans leurs secteurs respectifs. L'Anuga est ouvert exclusivement aux visiteurs professionnels
des secteurs des services et du commerce agroalimentaires.
Le programme de l’Anuga est à la fois intéressant et instructif. Il débutera par le sommet « Anuga Executive Summit », un rendez-vous pour les membres de
l’industrie et du commerce au plus haut niveau. D’autres événements à l’exposition comprendront l’événement ‘Aliments Surgelés’, la ‘Viande Essentielle’
rendez-vous pour le secteur de la viande, le congrès ‘Wellfood’ et la deuxième conférence Halal européenne. Encore une fois l'Anuga mettra en scène la
compétition ECOTROPHELIA EUROPE, qui honore les étudiants lauréats pour leur création de nouveaux produits alimentaires éco-innovants.
ECOTROPHELIA, the “Student Food Innovation Awards”, was held for the 14th year in Avignon. Created at the initiative of the CCI Vaucluse,
the awards are organized by 13 higher education institutions, 2 professional branches and 8 Competitiveness Clusters and Technical Centers.
This year, over 130 students participated to introduce more than 20 new products. Besides the ability to show their expertise and know-how,
the trophies are a real opportunity for our young «inventors» because, every year, some of their creations will be mass produced and marketed
in retail.
Since 2008 ECOTROPHELIA also organises a European edition of the competition in which more countries participate each year: 5 years ago
there were 8 countries, in 2011 there were 10 countries, 15 last year and there will be 18 competing countries this year. ECOTROPHELIA
has become a reference in Europe, a major event for innovation and competitiveness. This international recognition means that Avignon has
become the European Capital of food eco-innovation: an eco-friendly food innovation that respects the consumer, the environment and society
in general, pillars of sustainable development. Because we can no longer conceive progress without respecting citizens and the environment,
the entrepreneurs of the CCI Vaucluse continue to support the strategy of synergy between education, research and enterprise embodied by
ECOTROPHELIA Europe.
The success of ECOTROPHELIA Europe is based on a broad partnership and to all those who take part, our warmest thanks!
François MARIANI,

ECOTROPHELIA, les « Trophées étudiants de l’innovation alimentaire », a été organisé pour la 14ème année à Avignon. Créés à l’initiative de la CCI de Vaucluse,
ces trophées sont organisés par 13 établissements d’enseignement supérieur, 2 branches professionnelles, ainsi que 8 organismes et Centres Techniques.
Cette année encore, plus de 130 étudiants se sont mobilisés pour y présenter plus de 20 nouveaux produits. Outre la capacité à montrer leur expertise et leur
savoir-faire, les trophées sont une véritable mise de pied à l’étrier pour nos jeunes « inventeurs » puisque, comme chaque année, certaines de leurs créations
seront produites en série et mises sur le marché dans les circuits de la distribution.
Depuis 2008, ECOTROPHELIA organise aussi une compétition européenne qui rassemble chaque année plus de pays : 8 il y a 5 ans, 10 en 2011, 15 l’an
passé, ils seront 18 cette année à présenter des concurrents. ECOTROPHELIA est devenu une référence en Europe, un rendez-vous majeur de l’innovation et
de la compétitivité des entreprises. Cette reconnaissance internationale fait d’Avignon la Capitale Européenne de l’éco-innovation alimentaire : une innovation
alimentaire respectueuse du consommateur, de l’environnement et de la société en général, piliers du développement durable. Parce qu’on ne peut plus
concevoir de progrès que dans le respect du citoyen et de l’environnement, les chefs d’Entreprise de la CCI de Vaucluse continuent à soutenir la stratégie de
synergie entre formation, recherche et entreprise incarnée par ECOTROPHELIA Europe.
Le succès d’ECOTROPHELIA Europe repose sur un large partenariat dont nous nous félicitons ! Que toutes celles et tous ceux qui y prennent part en soient
remerciés !

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry supports ECOTROPHELIA Europe and ECOTROPHELIA France, two major student competitions,
highlighting, at both French and European levels:
• Our excellent training for careers in the food sector,
• Our young adults ability for eco-innovation, which participates in developing quality food, accessible to all and environmentally friendly,
• The exceptional variety / diversity of food in France.
These values echo the objectives of public food policy exposed in the National Food Program (PNA). A real social issue, this interdepartmental
programme run by the Ministry of Agriculture aims to facilitate access for all to a good diet by developing in particular a high quality ecofriendly
food supply (whilst respecting the environment).
So naturally an initiative like ECOTROPHELIA, which also contributes to the competitiveness of the agri-business for future years, has its place
in this large collective project, which reminds us that “eating well is everyone’s business.”

Ces valeurs font écho aux objectifs de la politique publique de l’alimentation déclinée dans le Programme National de l’Alimentation (PNA). Véritable enjeu de
société, ce programme interministériel piloté par le ministère chargé de l’agriculture vise à faciliter l’accès à tous à une bonne alimentation en développant
notamment l’offre alimentaire de qualité tout en respectant l’environnement.
Une initiative comme ECOTROPHELIA, qui participe également à la compétitivité des entreprises agroalimentaires pour les années à venir, trouve ainsi
naturellement sa place dans ce grand projet collectif, qui nous rappelle que « bien manger, c’est l’affaire de tous ».
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur is a land of flavours with rich and varied territories and many products of controlled designation of origin. This
quality is an important issue for our region, for its reputation but also for its economic development. The diversity of our gourmet range is
undoubtedly one of the strengths of our attraction to tourists. In a word, «eating well» is often synonymous with good health.
To combine this expertise with important issues such as higher education, innovation, partnerships, etc… The Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur
region supports ECOTROPHELIA and its international development through ECOTROPHELIA Europe. In addition to these important issues and
their positive effects in terms of employment and economic dynamism, the event has the merit of favouring the creation of food products
that meet the criteria of sustainable development. Along with industry sectors, universities and schools, agriculture and business, the Region
actively encourages eco-innovation.
The involvement of students in science and business higher education working towards new products that meet these requirements is a sign
of hope for the development of quality food. This is an issue of the highest order for our local production and the health of our citizens.
On the occasion of this fifth edition, the Region welcomes the expertise of all participants and wishes them the best of luck.
Michel VAUZELLE
President of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur est une terre de saveurs dotée de terroirs riches et variés et de nombreux produits d’appellations d’origine contrôlée. Cette
qualité est un enjeu important pour notre région, pour sa notoriété mais également pour son développement économique. La diversité de notre palette
gastronomique est sans conteste l’un des atouts de notre attractivité touristique. Enfin, le «bien-manger» est souvent synonyme de bonne santé.
Pour l’association de ce savoir-faire avec des enjeux aussi importants que l’enseignement supérieur, l’innovation, les partenariats..., la Région Provence-
Alpes-Côte d’Azur soutient ECOTROPHELIA et son développement international à travers ECOTROPHELIA Europe. Outre ces importants enjeux et leurs effets
positifs en termes d’emploi et de dynamisme économique, la manifestation a le mérite de privilégier la création de produits agroalimentaires respectant les
critères du développement durable. Aux côtés des filières du secteur, des universités et des écoles, de l’agriculture et des entreprises, la Région encourage
l’éco-innovation.
L’implication des étudiants de formations supérieures scientifiques et commerciales en faveur de produits nouveaux répondant à ces exigences est un gage
d’espoir pour le développement d’une alimentation de qualité. Il s’agit là d’un enjeu de tout premier ordre pour nos productions locales et la santé de nos
concitoyens.
A l’occasion de cette 5ème édition, la Région salue le savoir-faire de l’ensemble des participants et leur souhaite bonne chance.

Created in the Vaucluse region, the ECOTROPHELIA competition has quickly grown to a European level with the constant support of the General
Council. It is with great pride that I see today that ECOTROPHELIA meets the challenge of the synergy between academia, research and the
entire food chain.
The loyalty of our engagement with ECOTROPHELIA can be explained naturally: the General Council of Vaucluse has for many years now made
a clear commitment to and given financial support for agriculture, food and wine; the key, emblematic drivers of our department despite their
difficulties.
Vaucluse is a land of culture, of flavours, of food heritage and also a welcoming place of meetings and as such we must be at the heart of the
development of the industry of tomorrow, especially by incorporating the now essential elements of sustainable development.
Along with local producers and players across the whole industry, with the Fruit and Vegetable European Innovation Cluster (Pole TERRALIA)
and the City of Food, we believe that the future of our region lies in research, innovation and the development of know-how.
We therefore hope that this great event and its winners will continue to shine a bright light on the talent and ingenuity of young Europeans in
the service of food innovation.
Claude HAUT
Senator,
President of the General Council of Vaucluse
The Urban Community of Grand Avignon pursues a policy of ambitious economic development based on the particular clusters, including the
Fruit and Vegetable European Innovation Cluster (Pole TERRALIA), spearheading the agri-food sector in our country.
Grand Avignon in fact brings together all the tools of development of this sector:
• Large Companies: Naturex, McCormick, Liebig
• The competitiveness cluster TERRALIA labelized PRIDES by the PACA Region
• The presence of major research centers: INRA, University of Science
• The presence of numerous professional bodies in the industry: the IFRIA (Training for careers in food), CRITT (Technical Centre PACA), FRIAA
PACA (Regional Federation of Industries Agri-Food)
• Expressions of interest in the national fruit and vegetables sector, in particular the MIFFEL trade fair that takes place in October.
All these players come together today as a booming Technological Pole: The Agroparc, located in the town of Avignon.
Grand Avignon’s support of ECOTROPHELIA is therefore in direct continuity with this policy and enabling our community to be on the side of
innovation and training in the food industry.
Marie-Josée ROIG
President of the Urban Community of Greater Avignon.
Né sur les terres de Vaucluse, le concours ECOTROPHELIA a su rapidement, et avec le soutien constant du Conseil général, se développer pour atteindre
une échelle européenne. C’est donc avec une certaine fierté que je vois aujourd’hui ECOTROPHELIA réussir le pari de la synergie entre le monde de
l’enseignement, les chercheurs et l’ensemble de la filière agro-alimentaire.
La fidélité de notre engagement aux côtés d’ECOTROPHELIA s’explique naturellement : le Conseil général de Vaucluse a fait le choix depuis de nombreuses
années de s’engager clairement et financièrement pour accompagner les secteurs agricoles, viticoles et agro-alimentaires, des moteurs essentiels et
emblématiques de notre département malgré les difficultés.
Le Vaucluse, terre de cultures, de saveurs, de patrimoine agro-alimentaire mais aussi lieu d’accueil et de rencontres, se doit d’être au cœur du développement
de la filière de demain, en intégrant en particulier les éléments de développement durable désormais indispensables.
Aux côtés des producteurs locaux, bien sûr, mais aussi de l’ensemble des acteurs de la filière, du Pôle TERRALIA ou de la Cité de l’Alimentation, nous sommes
convaincus que l’avenir de notre territoire passe par la recherche, l’innovation et la valorisation des savoir-faire.
Souhaitons donc à cette belle manifestation et à ses lauréats de continuer à porter haut et fort le talent et l’ingéniosité de la jeunesse européenne au service
de l’innovation alimentaire.
TEXTE FRANÇAIS
La Communauté d’Agglomération du Grand Avignon poursuit une politique de développement économique ambitieuse s’appuyant notamment sur les pôles
de compétitivité et notamment le Pôle Européen d’Innovation Fruits et Légumes (Pôle TERRALIA), fer de lance du secteur agro-alimentaire sur notre territoire.
Le Grand Avignon regroupe en effet l’ensemble des outils de développement de cette filière :
• Grande Entreprises : Naturex, McCormick, Liebig
• Le Pôle de compétitivité TERRALIA labélisé PRIDES par la Région PACA
• La présence d’importants centres de recherche : INRA, Université des Sciences
• La présence de nombreux organismes professionnels de la filière : l’IFRIA (Formation aux métiers de l’agro-alimentaire), CRITT (Centre technique PACA),
la FRIAA PACA (Fédération régionale des Industries agroalimentaire)
• Des manifestations d’intérêt national dans le secteur des fruits et légumes et en particulier le MIFFEL, salon destiné aux professionnels qui se déroule en
octobre.
L’ensemble de ces acteurs se regroupe aujourd‘hui sur un Pôle Technologique en pleine expansion : Agroparc, situé sur la commune d’Avignon.
Le soutien du Grand Avignon à ECOTROPHELIA s’inscrit donc dans la continuité directe de cette politique et permet à notre collectivité d’être au côté de
l’innovation et de la formation dans le domaine agroalimentaire.

Clookies
Belgium is the land of fine beers. Fewer people know that
Belgium is also the land of potato chips. The Belgians are the
world’s record holders for ‘potato chips eating’. Clookies is an
innovative, sustainable and healthy alternative for the colourless
potato chips served in pubs and restaurants as an appetizer,
often with Belgian beers.
Clookies are based on beer spent grain. A by-product is
given new, valuable opportunities. The marked malt flavour
is combined with the savory and spicy taste of coriander and
pepper. With Clookies, being world’s record holder doesn’t
become unhealthy. Full of fibers, low in fat, calories and sodium
you can safely enjoy even more Clookies.

co•quo ( /kəʊˈkuəʊ/ I cook, jeg kokkererer) is the
meeting between a young German gastronome and
a young French landscape architect. They dedicate
their passion to a delicatessen concept to combine
Slow food and New Nordic Cuisine in Copenhagen.
We believe that everyone can get access to the
pleasure of good food in a convenient way and
be responsible of his terroire and food traditions.
Thanks to a glass jar the customer has access to a
visual appealing meal reheatable in ﬁve minutes in
a microwave. Our recipes are cooked by real chefs
without additives and based on local and seasonal
products.
On top of a high quality food available anywhere,
anytime we want to involve our customers in a
sustainable and new approach from the farm to the
fork. We apply a pant system to reduce packaging
waste. Further we adapt the trendy concept of food
trucks by distributing our meals on Christiana bikes
which are the symbol of Copenhagen.
For Ecotrophelia Europe we have developed a
full menu which represents Danish Cuisine in a
modern way. The three course menu starts with
“smørrebrød with pickled herring” followed by “cod
in mustard sauce with dill potatoes” and ends with
“chokolademælk”.

Ici&Là
How to combine traditional taste and modern convenience? Ici&Là has
the answer with its range of eco-innovative frozen ready meals: 100%
vegetable patties mainly made from green lentils and rice which may
replace a portion of meat in a main course. They are good and healthy
products: green lentils are rich in iron, proteins and fibers; the cereal-
legume complementation providing all benefits of a balanced meal.
Moreover these patties are gluten free, lactose free, made up of simple
ingredients without preservatives or additives. Deep freezing allows
keeping whole gustative and nutritional values.
Our current main product, Le Pavé du Velay, incorporates the whole
nutritional and gustative qualities of the well known PDO green lentils
from Le Puy en Velay. This particular lentil comes from the upland crops
in the Haute-Loire department in the central eastern France.
It’s from this terroir that this lentil acquires its qualities. This concept is
made to be applied to other traditional lentil through the world.
Our products are environmental friendly. Beyond eco-friendly packaging
and process, green lentil farming is beneficial for crops as a natural
fertilizer and requires no irrigation at all. Moreover it is good additional
income for farmers and favorable for local economies.
Heat up in six minutes in a pan, you can easily savor it. If you are
sensitive to environmental issues, to sustain a local culture while eating
a good and healthy product, Le Pavé du Velay is for you.

BBQuchen
BBQuchen is a precooked, cake-like product with a fruity
sauce, which is heated by the warm blaze of a barbecue
before serving. It is offered in innovative and functional
packaging, which can double as an underlay for the grill.
After being grilled BBQuchen has a crispy, golden-brown
crust and a moist middle. The interplay of the sweet, warm
BBQuchen and the slightly sour, cold sauces cause a
pleasant, harmonic taste experience.
Due to its shape it is associated with barbecue and easy
to handle with barbecue-tools. The dough consists of nuts,
eggs, sugar and grated fruits or vegetables. Therefore it
is suitable for vegetarians, and is also free of lactose and
gluten. Through variation of the ingredients many ﬂavours
can be created for suiting the different seasons. Already
developed types of BBQuchen are courgette-coconut
(with pineapple-mint sauce) and poppy seed-mango
(with raspberry-lime sauce) for a summer barbecue, and
a wintery hazelnut-apple-cinnamon (with ginger-orange
sauce) for Christmas markets.

eviva
eviva is an innovative Ready-To-Cook product that combines a
highly nutritious white fish, gilthead sea bream, with the special
aroma of the famous Greek spirits, Ouzo and Tsipouro. The product
name “eviva” is a pun that may guide the consumer to decrypt its
three major properties:
• “e” stresses the ecological aspect: The direct application of Ouzo
and Tsipouro on the surface of the fish fillets may downgrade their
sensory characteristics. Therefore, edible films made from whey
protein (by-product of dairy plants) were used as carriers of the
spirits in order to transfer indirectly and gradually their aroma to the
product, highlighting, in parallel, its ecological character.
• “viva” reveals its nutritional properties: The high amounts of
animal origin proteins and omega 3 unsaturated fats of gilthead
sea bream ranks the product at the top layers of the Mediterranean
diet pyramid.
• “eviva” marks its traditional character: “eviva” in Greek means
“cheers”, stressing by this way on the label the presence of
traditional Greek alcoholic spirits to the product. Moreover, Ouzo
and Tsipouro may also act as natural preservatives, thus prolonging
the shelf-life of the fish fillets.
Overall, “eviva” constitutes a product that can be aligned with the
modern consumer’s culture by fulfilling their demands for easily
prepared meals without chemical preservatives, highly nutritious
and of elevated ecological impact.

Our work is focusing on the commercialization of a novel kind
of health-promoting milling fraction in the form of a ready to use
baking mixture. Antecedent of our project was a funded research
program where a new technology was developed for production
of a novel kind of wheat milling product from industrial wheat bran
fraction. This special product contains higher amount of dietary
fiber and other natural health promoting components than the
traditional flour types have and a lower concentration of digestible
carbohydrate than whole meals. Further advantage of this product
is an economic one. Our goal was to develop marketable products
from this novel type of wheat milling fraction that closely matches
to the new trends in healthy lifestyle. Ready to use flour mixtures
are already available on the market though the variety and the
quantity of health promoting mixtures are limited and due to their
price they are not available for the broader audience. Four types
of baking mixtures were developed to meet diverse customer
expectations. In order to commercialize these products we have
planned the production technology considering food safety and
quality requirements and environmental aspects. A business plan
including the sales, marketing and financial plans was conducted to
lay out commercialization opportunities in Hungary as a first step.
If market acceptance is appropriate and if the new technology is
available then we could achieve an international expansion.

Hai Shen instant soup offers a delicious and innovative soup mix
giving the health benefits of sea cucumbers in an easy to serve
meal. The soup’s delicious taste and aroma – flavourful with a hint
of the sea, ginger and chili – is inspired by a traditional Chinese
recipe. Sea cucumbers, long highly valued in Asia and the Middle
East for their health-giving properties and thought to be beneficial
for a number of ailments, including the pain of arthritis, wound
healing and immune function, give the soup great nutritional value.
As they say in China: “A sea cucumber a day keeps the doctor
away.”
With Hai Shen instant soup, you can treat yourself to a healthy
and easy meal any time of day. Preparing sea cucumber in the
traditional way can take days, but with Hai Shen instant soup it only
takes a few minutes - just place in a cup, add hot water and serve.
The soup’s packaging suggests gift-giving, the purity of Icelandic
sea food and the traditional health-giving properties of sea
cucumbers. The gift packaging is also a reference to the fact that
sea cucumbers are a common gift in China, representing health
and good relations. Inside the stylish package are three bags of
the instant mix.
Hai Shen instant soup is created in an eco-friendly way, using
sea cucumbers, a currently under-exploited resource in Iceland,
packaged in recyclable bags.

SOcrock is a new and sustainable product made from white
sorghum, an old and less demanding cereal with great potential.
With an essential and natural recipe, SOcrock is a bi-taste snack
(half chocolate, half cereal) crunchy, light, and rich in fiber, which
gratifies without swelling. It is a handy and fast hunger-cruncher to
keep always in your bag. With an attractive design, it can be eaten
at any time and everywhere. Simple, but not obvious, SOcrock
marks a return to origins with a twist. With only 88 Kcal per bar, it
satisfies your craving without guilt. But SOcrock is not only taste
and pleasure. Naturalness and innovation make it an eco-friendly
snack: with nutritional properties similar to corn, sorghum has
lower water requirements and greater adaptability. In SOcrock,
white sorghum is used in various forms: as blown grains, as
syrup and as fiber. SOcrock’s nutritional added value is provided
by ingredients obtained from what the food industry considers as
byproducts (fiber and grape seeds). The supply of raw materials
and the finished product are manufactured and made achievable
within a few kilometers. The primary packaging is fully recyclable,
while the secondary has been replaced by a multipack where more
bars are joined by adhesive side. The impact on the ecosystem has
resulted in an environmental label, applied to develop customers’
awareness, encouraging behavioral change in favor of environment:
SOcrock always falls in the best categories of sustainability.

Choco-Quino is a chocolate quinoa beverage high in protein
that is produced from only natural and fairtrade ingredients.
The primary ingredients in the drink are water and quinoa.
Quinoa is 100% organic and is being utilised from the protein
waste of a company in Sweden, which uses the starch of the
quinoa grain to produce all natural skin moisturising creams.
The rest of the ingredients are sugar, UTZ-certiﬁed cocoa
powder, salt and vanilla extract. The beverage is low in fat
as well as lactose and gluten free and contains all of the
essential amino acids required. The product is UHT (ultra-
high temperature) sterilised and packaged in shelf-stable
Tetra Pak packages. This way of processing reduces the
amount of spoiled product since it substantially increases
the shelf-life, eliminates the need for refrigerated transport
and storage, and makes it safe and convenient. Choco-
Quino can be enjoyed by all ages, especially by children
and lactose-intolerant individuals, as well as vegans who
are looking for a healthy and delicious dairy alternative. Our
product can provide consumers with an enhanced nutritional
beneﬁt since it offers a high proportion of the daily protein
requirement with a low amount of fat and calories.

healthy products for the human body and the environment. Our vision is
building the future in which all people will eat healthfully and make them
aware of the impact of their actions on the environment.
This small company adopted the pivot strategy with very high profile
specialists concentrating on premium range customers with the main focus
on distribution in a limited territory (Moldova and South of the country). The
differentiating strategy is based on the innovative product itself, which is
functional both from the taste and health point of view. The differentiator
rests in the added plants: dandelion and chia seeds which give the product
a spectacular and unforgettable taste.
Our values: take care of people, environment protection, accountability,
responsibility, tradition.
To obtain hard cheese rolls with dandelion and chia seeds only organic
materials have been used: cow milk, dandelion, saffron, salt, clot and chia
seeds.
The use of dandelion and chia seeds for this product results in its increased
nutritional value, improved aesthetics, and beneficial surplus of the

Blancmange - “Sweet Cloud”
The structured dairy and vegetable
dessert
The blancmange belongs to dairy
desserts − a soufflé. The product has
a smooth, airy consistency, without
foreign additions, and a milky color.
The sweetness is due to the presence
of stevia extract. Milk-based products
are low-fat cottage cheese - a source of
complete protein and milk stevia extract.
Partially hydrolyzed animal protein
collagen is used as the gelling agent
