A big thank you to Imran Afzal for delivering the EIT Food Accelerator Network Corporate Readiness Workshop, sharing insights and hands-on tips for successful startup-corporate collaborations. The session clearly highlights how important it is for both our corporate partners and startups to work closely together towards a common goal to jointly drive impact and innovation. Companies of all kinds play a major role in creating a fairer and more sustainable world and solve the world’s most pressing challenges. For corporates, the benefits of supporting our startups and collaborating with them, in addition to contributing to the sustainability agenda, are access to innovative products, services and business models, access to new markets and new customers, more resilient supply chains, brand building and a better ability to attract new employees.   The workshop was designed to equip our startups with the tools, knowledge and skills to prepare them for pilot projects/ POCs with corporate partners and to get them pitch and market ready towards a full-scale commercialisation.  The top ten dos and don’ts are always the main talking point and the key highlight of the workshop. A big thank you goes to our 2024 cohort, to Marie Russier, our EIT Food colleagues Marie Brueser, Ewa Karolewska, Kamila Czerwinska and Juliet Bray, who have joined the workshop and to Imran Afzal for an engaging and educational session.  Melt&Marble, Kokomodo, New Wave Biotech, iComplai - Early Warning System for Food Supply Chain, The Good Pulse Company, Papkot® , Blue Ocean Closures , Pack2Earth, Happygum, FeJuice, CinSOIL and many more!   #Foodsystemtransfirmation #AgriFoodTechInnovation #StartupAcceleration #TechValidation
