As Ambassador of the BioeconomyVentures project, Foodvalley organises two Expand & Explore Workshops. These are workshops where a number of startups from Foodvalley’s ecosystem are given the opportunity to pitch their innovation in front of investors. The first one will take place at 21 December 2022, 13:00 – 17:30 CET.
The Explore and Expand workshop BioeconomyVentures invites to connect bioeconomy innovators from the circular agrifood innovation field with investors, ideally leading to new investment deals, that participate in the stimulation of the bioeconomy entrepreneurship ecosystem in the Netherlands.
Specific innovators active working on the circular agrifood topics like upcycling/valorising sidestreams, insect protein production, regenerative agriculture are invited to respond to pitch.
Furthermore investors interested in those type of innovations are welcome to sign up to get invited on the programme and/or public.
