IGCAT tiene como objetivo empoderar a las comunidades locales mediante la creación de conciencia sobre la importancia de proteger y promover los alimentos, la cultura, las artes y los activos naturales regionales distintivos como parte de las estrategias de turismo y desarrollo sostenibles y equilibradas.
Esto es esencial para salvaguardar nuestro planeta, nuestra salud, nuestro bienestar y nuestras economías locales.

IGCAT es un instituto sin ánimo de lucro creado en 2010, que trabaja con consorcios regionales de partes interesadas en los campos de la gastronomía, la cultura, las artes y el turismo.
Cuenta con la experiencia de una red mundial de expertos y trabaja en colaboración con organizaciones intergubernamentales especializadas.

IGCAT otorga el Premio de la Región Europea y Mundial de la Gastronomía y es la secretaría oficial de las Plataformas de las Regiones del Mundo y de Europa de la Gastronomía.
Además, el Instituto ha desarrollado el European Young Chef Award, el World Food Gift Challenge, el premio Top Websites for Foodie Travelers y el Food Film Menu.
