#THRIVE #Global #Impact #Summit in Santa Clara, California, was a dynamic capstone to the THRIVE Immersion Program, where over the past few months, Nasekomo, presented by our co-founder Xavier Marcenac joined the EIT Food cohort of groundbreaking European scale-ups. Through this program, we engaged with leading agri-food tech resources, networks, and innovation hubs, gaining valuable insights essential for global growth. 💡Last week, the Immersion Program led its participants to renowned institutions, universities, and companies in Silicon Valley, each offering inspiring new perspectives. The journey capped it all with the THRIVE Global Impact Summit, held on November 6-7. The event brought together innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and thought leaders from agriculture and food technology in Santa Clara, California. The Summit addressed critical issues facing the food system and agriculture, focusing on sustainable solutions and transformative innovations in the industry like Nasekomo's scope of activity. 🙏 A big thank you to EIT Food, SVG Ventures | THRIVE and Paula Elliott for guiding us through this transformative journey. Great time shared with Onego Bio, Agrain by Circular Food Technology, Neggst, Meala Foodtech, and MyEasyFarm! 🤝 As a scale-up committed to the sustainable agri-food chain, we’re open to partnerships that drive meaningful impact and collaboration. We also invite corporate and investment partners interested in scalable, franchisable solutions for the future of food to connect and join our common sustainable tomorrow through a local circular economies powered by Nasekomo's bioconversion know-how and technologies. ♻️
