Who we are

The world’s largest and most dynamic food innovation community. We create connections right across the food system that stimulate new ideas and innovations to drive change: between startups and corporates; between food entrepreneurs and investors; between consumers and industry; between research and action; between ideas and reality; between present and future.

Supported by the EU, we invest in projects, organisations and individuals that share our goals for a healthy and sustainable food system.

Our innovation projects are delivered with a combination of industry, education and research partners to improve environmental and health outcomes by developing solutions that align with our three missions:

• Healthier Lives Through Food: We will make a material difference to quality of life by enabling more consumers to have better choices through access to affordable, healthier food products and actionable information.
• Net Zero Food System: We will enable the transition to a net zero food system, measuring and quantifying the change through reduced CO2 equivalent emissions.
• Reducing Risk for a Fair and Resilient Food System: We’ll improve food security and safety for consumers everywhere by enabling and establishing resilient and dependable digitally enabled food supply chains.
