Digipas på vej til Danmark!  We zijn blij dat we mogen bijdragen aan The Alt Protein Project at EIT Food, een initiatief van The Good Food Institute, dat gericht is op het ontwikkelen van een toekomstbestendig voedselsysteem met behulp van alternatieve eiwitten. Het project brengt universiteiten en innovatieve denkers uit heel Europa samen, zodat studenten, wetenschappers en andere betrokkenen kunnen samenwerken aan duurzame voedseloplossingen. Met onze digitale en duurzame oplossing maken we de communicatie binnen het project eenvoudiger. We zijn enthousiast om bij te dragen aan een duurzamer en efficiënter voedselsysteem voor de toekomst! Meget succes, The Alt Protein Project at EIT Food en op een mooie samenwerking! www.digipas.app #Digipas #Digitalepas #Ledenpas #FutureOfFood
