    Research & Development<\/h2>\n

    Committed to advancing our activities toward innovation, we have established a dedicated department within the company focused on research, development and innovation (R&D&I).<\/p>\n

    The result of this activity by the Research and Development department is a collection of clonal selections of fruit trees, aromatic and medicinal plants, small fruit plants and other underutilized crops.<\/p>\n

    We maintain these clonal selections and further explore their potential in collaboration with other companies, laboratories, research institutions, etc.<\/p>\n

    Our goal is to determine the potential significance of these plants\/trees and their content for other sectors, such as the pharmaceutical, chemical, medical, paramedical, energy and other bio-based industries.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”582″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”70px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] Innovation [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”650″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””] Our nursery business participated in the research effort of the Action \u201cInnovation Investment Plans\u201d, entitled \u201cUtilization of second-grade fruits for the production of high added-value products in the Region of Central Macedonia.\u201d The project also involved the Division of Food […]\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-641","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/glavakistrees.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/glavakistrees.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/glavakistrees.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glavakistrees.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glavakistrees.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=641"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/glavakistrees.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/641\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":679,"href":"https:\/\/glavakistrees.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/641\/revisions\/679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/glavakistrees.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
