AgriFood-Tech Italia

Startup e investitori agrifood, si torna in Italia! Dopo il successo della prima edizione 2023, EIT Food Investor Launchpad tornerà a #Milano il 4 giugno nella magnifica cornice della Deloitte Greenhouse in collaborazione con AgriFood-Tech Italia. Durante l’intensa giornata di lavoro, aiuteremo #investitori a comprendere meglio le #startup #agrifood, dando la possibilità a #founder agrifood di ricavare #feedback di valore e connessioni con business angel e investitori professionali. Registrazione per startup qui: https://lnkd.in/d79GivR8 Registrazione per investitori qui: https://lnkd.in/dEdsSDiF Grazie al supporto dei nostri partner InnovUp, IAG, Angels4Women, Angels4Impact, gli investitori trascorreranno la mattinata formandosi sull’analisi e la valutazione di startup agrifood, raccogliendo esperienze direttamente dai migliori esperti come Amparo de San José Riestra, Emanuele Preve, Antonio Iannone, Emanuele Torlonia, Peter Kruger e molti altri. Le startup si aggiungeranno nel pomeriggio per pitchare le loro soluzioni e impegnandosi in varie intense sessioni di discussione con investitori. Il tutto terminerà la sera con un networking #cocktail offerto da Clever Foods. Più che un semplice evento di pitching, si tratta di un'intera giornata lavorativa per aiutare gli investitori a comprendere meglio le opportunità dell’#ecosistema di startup agrifood, offrendo al contempo alle startup connessioni reali con gli investitori e feedback di alto livello.

🎓 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗗 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡. 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡. 𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗛𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗔𝗦𝗠 ❤️ 👨🎓 Yesterday marked the beginning of my third year teaching at ESCP Business School. 🥫 The focus? Agrifood-tech, of course! 🌎 It’s an elective major within the International Food & Beverage Manager program. 🧑💼 Designed to equip future leaders and executives in the food industry with the skills and passion for innovation in food. 💓 Doesn’t that sound exciting? 🦾 On a personal note, being able to share knowledge and inspire the next generation of professionals fills me with immense pride. 🙏 A huge thank you to all of you for your enthusiasm and dedication. (Tags in the comment) 🤝 And let’s not forget the incredible ESCP team—your support is invaluable.

What are #Trump and #Musk up to? What’s their endgame—if they even have one? And how does this intersect with the geopolitical showdown between the US and China over #AI dominance? It is no-easy task getting a clear picture, amidst these chaotic weeks of tectonic shifts disrupting decades-old geopolitical equilibria. But after some thought-provoking discussions — on line and off line —I’m starting to piece it together. I’ll dive into this on Wednesday at the #AIFestival in #Milan, in a talk titled, “Tech-Imperialism: The Geopolitics of AI in the New Trump-Musk Era”—trust me the title is less provocative than it sounds. With the US doubling down on protectionist barriers for AI tech exports and China making massive strides in hardware (welcome #Ascend) and LLM models (welcome #DeepSeek), what does the future hold for this multipolar competition? And, crucially, where should Europe position itself? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Join me if you can: https://lnkd.in/eX4ZB6xJ And if I find the time, I might even record a video afterward.

What could be better? Francesca Varvello 🔊 Hypesound - Revolutionizing fermentation processes through hypersound technology. Matteo Crucito 🍎 IFARMING SRL - A standout in Italy’s highly competitive smart farming market. Massimo Montecchi 🐟 Ocean Twist Biotechnology - Biotech solutions for fish feed—a long-awaited breakthrough in Italy. Alessandro Romano 🌱 KelpEat - One of Italy’s pioneers in the novel food space. Luca Cerruti 🦗 Kinsect  - Insect farming, once a far-fetched idea, now becoming a reality. Stefano Guerrieri ☕️ NOUS Energy- Caffeine-free? Yes, and it’s a party. Lorenzo Pessini 🍫 NuHpro - Nutraceuticals made with love and care. Claudia Guidi 🩷 Sestre - Southern Italy meets girl power—exactly what we needed. Sabrina Fiorentino 🍨 SQUP - Italian ice cream, but plant-based and low in sugar. Emanuele Bianconi 🥥 coccola - A comforting hug (or coccola) to start your day. Emmanuela Alesiani 🛒 Tuduu - Wondering what to eat today? There’s an app for that. Giuseppe Virzì 🤖 Tuidi - AI and logistics, with no hype and a lot of practicality. Giulio Martinacci 🌀 Vortex Società Benefit - The leading name in upcycling innovation. Lorenzo Picco 🔉 Yeastime S.r.l. - Plug and play solutions that leverage ultrasound technologies to boost fermentation. Pierfrancesco Mazzolini 🪐 Italy’s agrifood-tech scene may be behind in some areas, but these startups are proof that the future is bright—and delicious. 👁️ Keep an eye on them! 📆 And save the date for Food Bite Italy on 9th and 10th April https://lnkd.in/dp8FTU_U #foodtech #agrifoodtech #foodstartups
