IGCAT pretende empoderar a las comunidades locales orientando, facilitando y apoyando a los líderes en las regiones para que reconozcan el potencial de sus distintos recursos gastronómicos, culturales, artísticos y de turismo sostenible. Esto es esencial para equilibrar las tendencias alimentarias globalizadas que están afectando a nuestro planeta, la salud y las economías locales.
IGCAT es un instituto sin ánimo de lucro que desde 2012 trabaja con consorcios de entidades y agentes regionales en los campos de la gastronomía, de la cultura, de las artes y del turismo. Cuenta con la experiencia de una red global de expertos y colabora con organizaciones intergubernamentales especializadas.
IGCAT otorga el Premio Región de la Gastronomía y es la secretaría oficial de la Plataforma de Regiones Europeas de la Gastronomía. Además, en colaboración con las Regiones, el Instituto ha desarrollado los siguientes proyectos internacionales: Young Chef Award, Local Food Gift Challenge, Top Visitor Experience y Food Film Menu.
