Engagement with CAPPA

How CAPPA Delivered Solution for Industry

CAPPA engaged with the company initially and discussed their requirements. A dedicated researcher was hired under a direct funded programme that was able to liaise between Nestle research and development specialists and experienced research and development personnel in CAPPA. CAPPA developed a bespoke engagement model and provided them with the ability to use facilities in other sites as appropriate.
