General:
This project aims to establish the triangular connection between higher education, SMEs and interested parties to address the lack of knowledge, technologies and entrepreneurship in the field of biotechnology of essential oils.
Specific objectives:
- An increase in consumer disposable income is expected and the rapid expansion of the food and beverage industries contribute to the demand for fragrances and natural flavors produced with essential oils.

A growth in the demand for aromatic cleaning products and personal care products based on biostimulation is expected to increase the demand for home care and personal care products.
- Identification of needs and assistance to partners or interested parties.
- Training focused on research, characterization of best practices and case studies.
- Research about the factors that influence the entrepreneurship for the exploitation of these products.
