Information for direct marketers

Information for direct marketers

In der Gesellschaft findet aktuell ein Umdenken im Konsum von Lebensmitteln statt, welcher durch den Wunsch nach Regionalität als auch qualitativ ernährungsphysiologisch hochwertigen Produkten gekennzeichnet ist.

The trust in regionally grown and produced food with a known origin has become increasingly stronger, which has also increased the willingness to invest more in precisely these food products.

Unser Ziel ist die Unterstützung von Landwirt:innen bei der Entwicklung eigener Lebensmittel direkt am Hof, um deren eigene Wertschöpfung sowie das Angebot regional produzierter Lebensmittel zu erweitern. Dabei soll vor allem heimisch erzeugten Lebensmitteln ein neuer Stellenwert und Platz im Handel geboten werden und somit der Landwirtschaft das Potential einer neuen Einnahmequelle nähergebracht werden.

Makerspace & FSIWS Club

Develop innovative ideas on a laboratory scale and start your first small series productions with us at the incubator. There are no limits to your creativity! On more than 1,000 square meters of laboratory and pilot plant space, you will find pilot plants for the development, production and packaging of liquid, solid or powdered foods.

As a food startup with a newly founded company, you have the opportunity with this offer to gain access to the diverse pilot facilities and production space, as well as to long rooms, and to achieve your first "proof of concept".

Darüber hinaus beinhaltet dieses Paket den Zugang zu unserer Startup Community, Kontakten zu Dienstleister:innen im Lebensmittelbereich und exklusiven Events, Webinaren & Workshops.
