Our partners align with the themes most relevant to their business, sharing their expertise with the selected startups on their tech validation and business acceleration journey. Throughout the 3-month hybrid programme, our corporate partners will engage in key activities, such as reverse pitches, matchmaking sessions and tech validation cases.
In 2024, the EIT Food Accelerator Network facilitated over 70 co-pilot studies and more than 1300 one-on-one meetings between corporates and startups. Beyond the programme, partners looking to develop a pilot or proof of concept (PoC) will also have the opportunity to leverage EIT Food’s PoC Co-Financing Tool, reducing the risk of innovation and accelerating real-world solutions.
At EIT Food Accelerator Network, we connect impactful agrifood startups with industry-leading corporates, mentors and research partners to validate their product development roadmap, test and pilot their innovative technologies and drive the ultimate goal of every business - a successful market adoption.
Grow your network, accelerate your tech innovation, speed up your progress and fast-track your business. Join our pan-European accelerator programme and gain access to the world’s largest and most dynamic food innovation community!
