I always love having the opportunity to work with Angela Bozo, ACS CCP and the entire INFRA team! With so many innovations hitting the market (many of which will show up on the show floor at Newtopia Now), it's important for retailers to understand the latest category management strategies. We're excited for this awesome workshop the Thrive neighborhood at Newtopia Now later this summer, which is one of many sessions focused on supporting retail differentiation. Join INFRA’s Danelle Rydel, VP of member success and Angela Bozo, director of member programs, for a discussion of innovation opportunities within modern category management paradigms. They will tackle the questions: Are subcategories too narrow to encourage real category innovation? What strategies have worked for defying categorization? Which up-and-coming subcategories could become their own categories and why? How can retailers and brands work together more effectively to encourage new products? Using retail profiles and innovative brand examples, they will highlight retail and brand success stories and opportunities.

🌱 Thrilled to have pitched at the TechHub.K67 pitch session in my hometown, Düsseldorf! It’s amazing to see the startup scene thriving here and the spotlight on innovative ideas shaping the future. Huge thanks to K67 Techhub for organizing such a fantastic event and bringing together founders, investors, and changemakers. At Empacto, we focus on helping sustainability teams tackle one of their biggest challenges: sharing tailored sustainability knowledge at scale. Why is this so critical? 🌍 Evolving regulations and different regulations globally make compliance a moving target, and generic solutions no longer cut it. 🤝 Corporate commitments like net-zero goals need deep alignment across the value chain. 💡 Consumer are becoming more aware and critical -> Companies need tailored strategies to highlight how their efforts connect to real-world impact. These pressures are growing—and so is the opportunity to drive meaningful change with the right tools. Here’s to pushing boundaries and building solutions that matter! 💚

Attention US #FoodTech Community: I'm excited to introduce Your Beet, a startup backed by Norrsken and one that I personally mentor and use on a weekly basis. They will be in the US over the coming weeks, visiting San Francisco and New York. Here’s why I love Your Beet and why you should connect with them: • Meeting People Where They Are: Your Beet offers plant-based recipe solutions that simplify decision-making for users by converting influencer traffic into grocery baskets and food brand sales. This innovative approach helps change habits by integrating seamlessly into everyday life. • Asset-Light Model: Just like the biggest car service company owns no cars and the largest accommodation provider owns no properties, YourBeet owns no food stock. Their model is lean and scalable, focusing on leveraging existing resources to drive impact. • Female Founded: Anastasia Trofimova and her team's grit and dedication are truly inspiring. Their drive embodies the spirit of thriving against all odds, and I have no doubt they will achieve remarkable success. If you're in San Francisco or New York, I highly encourage you to connect with YourBeet. They are looking to meet with key players in the food tech space to expand their network and explore collaboration opportunities. Who should they meet? Your suggestions and connections would be immensely valuable!
