Network partners & supporters

We support founders who, together with us, are contributing to a sustainable world. In the food sector, we offer the opportunity to develop innovative ideas for better and more sustainable food and to quickly put them into practice without significant financial risk.

The huge success of this offer, with a doubling of the number of food startups and founding teams active on Food Startup in each of the last two years (currently more than 30 active food startups), has completely surprised us.

Therefore, we are currently facing the major challenge of meeting the rapidly growing demands for the necessary infrastructure, such as pilot plants, coworking spaces, and support services. We urgently need the support of network partners and sponsors to help us overcome these challenges together.
