Highlights of Foodvalley’s Open House
F&A Next has closed its doors. Time for some inspirational Foodvalley highlights of the events organised on
23, 24 and 25 May.
23 May: Innovation Insights
On 23 May, a day before F&A Next, we kicked off with a special breakfast session of our quarterly Innovation Insights.
This time, Innovation Insights was all about F&A Next. This quarterly session offered a sneak peek at what to expect, who to meet and who to invest in the food transition—a glimpse into the world of startups, corporates and investors.
During Innovation Insights, artist Jessie van Hattum made illustrations relevant to the food system transition on our Foodvalley Glasshouse.
The challenge on “upcycling of horticulture side streams” into valuable proteins, enzymes, and supplements reached an exciting conclusion during Foodvalley NL’s Innovation Insights meeting. The challenge was organised by SIGN (Foundation for Innovation in Greenhouse Horticulture Netherlands) and Foodvalley NL. Grassa BV emerged as the winner, receiving the prize for their refinery technology, efficient logistic processes, and expertise in upcycling supply chains
