“It is our job to identify and support impactful agrifoodtech startups, so that they can tackle the biggest challenges within the European food system, transform it and develop their capacity as founders.
Benoit Buntinx, Director of Business Creation at EIT Food
Since 2018, the program has successfully accelerated 298 European startups, helping them build strong business foundations and thrive in the competitive agrifoodtech industry. The program kickoff event was May 13th through 15th in Munich, where we got to meet the other nine agrifoodtech startups selected for the cohort.
We also met with mentors and corporates, who highlighted a range of extremely interesting opportunities to co-develop Proof of Concepts. The exchange of ideas and enthusiasm among all participants was a great indicator of the exciting time ahead. It is wonderful to be part of such a dynamic group of forward-thinking individuals, and we are grateful for the exceptional quality of support the program provides.
