The HELIX Programme is a pan-Wales initiative delivered by Food Innovation Wales, a partnership of three food centres Food Technology Centre (Anglesey), Food Centre Wales (Ceredigion) and Zero2Five (Cardiff). They are joined by AberInnovation, which is based at Aberystwyth University.  

If your food and drink business is based in Wales then you may be eligible for funded support. Eligible businesses have access to a range of technical and commercial support.  

We can offer you tailored support, designed to meet your business’s individual needs.   

We can work with you to analyse each step of your manufacturing process, identifying how to make your business more efficient across process controls, site design and systems development. You will be able to benefit from access to best practice and a range of industry intelligence, designed to make your business better.  We can even help you achieve third party certification such as BRCGS and SALSA, which will open-up new markets for your products.  

You can learn more about some of the services on offer through The HELIX Programme by visiting the Innovation Centres section of the website.
