Ecosystem development
What is Ecosystem Development? We nurture and fertilise the food ecosystem. We have access to food hubs around the world, meeting those working on the same topics and exchanging knowledge and linking up. We also line up support through our partners for innovations and entrepreneurs to accelerate their efforts from a good idea to market launch. When necessary, we take the lead in developing services ourselves. Last but not least, our network offers its innovation & research facilities. Since facilities are capital intensive, our connecting approach makes facilities more accessible and joint investment more likely. It also gives small young companies access to the best equipment.
Shared Facilities
We offer startups and scale-ups in the agrifood sector access to state-of-the-art facilities, knowledge, and expertise to test, further develop, and scale up their innovative technologies and concepts.
Entrepreneurship
In partnership with Startlife, we provide entrepreneurs with various programmes and support that will help them develop their skills, attract the right resources and investments.
Global Collaborations
Through our international network, we regularly participate in European programmes and projects alongside international partners. We connect talented partners with international contacts.
