A team from INRA-Lusignan specialised in sown meadows, working together with Terenvi, has developed techniques and tools to extend the life of football stadium pitches. Their scientific expertise is an asset for Quanta Green, an early-stage company which won the ‘Coup de Cœur’ award at Créa’Vienne, a competition organised by the Vienne region’s Centre for Business and Innovation (Centre des entreprises et de l’innovation) on 12 June 2014.
