At the end, each participant is invited to present an innovation project, with the support, throughout the entire program, of MC’s Innovation Department.
The Continente Producers Club’s Academy is a training program developed specifically for the Club’s members, with the aim of reinforcing their knowledge on the various areas of the supply chain, making them more competitive and aware of the current Retail situation, accelerating innovation, competitiveness and sustainability processes.
Launched in 2017, the Academy already has more than 50 innovation projects presented, including new products and concepts aligned with current production and consumption trends, and 10 producers distinguished with the Continente Producers Club’s Innovation Prize.

With yet another edition of the Academy, we want to aid our producers to be increasingly more competitive, taking into account these differentiation axes. MC wants to be, more and more, an accelerator for the incorporation of innovation and new technologies, in order to make its partners more competitive and sustainable”.
