GICA’s achievements in the field of research, development and innovation take different forms:

-Encourage and support Tunisian canneries to adhere to the national research and innovation programs PNRI; PIRD, ITP…

-Anticipate and participate in technological developments relevant to the profession, by conducting collective research programs chosen by professionals and supported by public authorities.

-Participate in innovation in general and more particularly in its transfer to the industrialists (visit national and international technology fairs and events…).
