The Agrifoodtech Challenge 2024 of Valle del Cauca celebrates its three winners! Last friday, the Gobernación del Valle del Cauca has announced the winners of the #AgrifoodtechChallenge during the Demo Day at the Xpanz event. The challenge, executed by Reddi Colombia and Eatable Adventures, has been designed to drive innovation in the region's agrifood sector. These are the projects transforming the future of food in Valle del Cauca: - Tecde.ai (TechStars '24): This solver uses artificial intelligence to reduce food waste at home. Its innovative system detects the ripeness of food in refrigerators, alerting consumers to consume it before it’s too late. - Global Meals SAS BIC: With a sustainable vision, this startup transforms rice bran into functional and indulgent foods like bread, soups, beverages, and snacks. Their products not only offer nutritional benefits but also upcycle this agricultural byproduct. - Universidad del Valle (CO): Their research on natural sweeteners like tagatose in baked goods is opening doors to healthier options without compromising taste or texture. “The Agrifoodtech Challenge has been a key platform for these innovative projects to make a significant impact on the agrifood market,” highlighted Sergio Zúñiga Bohórquez, Regional VP Latam of Eatable Adventures. We extend our gratitude to the corporations that were part of this project: K-listo Productos Alimenticios S.A.S, Ingredientes y Productos Funcionales S.A.S, Haceb, INGENIO PICHICHÍ S.A., and Arroz Blanquita, whose support and commitment were crucial in making this initiative a success. 👏 Congratulations to the solvers! #Agrifoodtech #Innovación #ValleDelCauca #Sostenibilidad

#Hub4Food is moving forward! 🚀 This time, the consortium got in Rouen, France, to discuss the next steps and actions to foster #food innovation in the #Atlantic Area. 🌊 The meeting was organized and hosted by Lola Nicolas and Estelle Gouye from Valorial, le réseau innovation agri-agro where it has been discussed actions developed so far and next steps with the final objective of fostering the development of new and improved food products 🍽️ (focusing on #marine origin) and the testing of #innovative technologies 💡 as well as enhancing the innovation capacities and ecosystem connections of the #Atlantic food industry. Hub4Food will prepare a technology #roadmap 🗺️ highlighting main #innovative technologies that can be applied in #food industries as well as a mapping of facilities in which companies can access those technologies and test them. Also, it will have #pilot projects in which companies will be able to test technologies or processes in collaboration with the #Hub4Food technology centres: ANFACO-CECOPESCA , CATAA - Centro de Apoio Tecnologico Agro Alimentar , LEMPA – Laboratoire National de la Boulangerie Pâtisserie, MARE - Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre, PRAXENS and Teagasc. Furthermore, the clusters involved in the partnership (BIA Innovator Campus, InovCluster, Valorial, le réseau innovation agri-agro, EIT Food South and Clúster Alimentario de Galicia) will provide services to food companies in support of their #innovation and #competitiveness. And all of this will be complimented with #knowledge sharing 📚 and #networking sessions throughout the project! 🤝 Don’t forget to visit our website (https://hub4food.eu/) and follow us to stay tuned! 🔔 #Interreg #AtlanticArea #ForbetterAtlanticregions #Foodinnovation

⚙️Exciting news from Catalonia: The regional government have awarded €12 million for the construction of a new alternative protein scale-up plant, which will offer companies essential R&D facilities and de-risk the research needed to optimise their processes and bring their innovations to market. A few such facilities already exist elsewhere in Europe, such as the BioBase Pilot Plant in Belgium (for more on that project see the link in the comments), but more of them are sorely needed to help alternative protein startups overcome the notorious ‘valley of death’ and accelerate the journey of these important sustainable foods into the mainstream. This pivotal government investment is reflective of the growing role that Catalonia is beginning to take in driving innovation to deliver sustainable food systems and bolster food security in Europe. #catalonia #alternativeproteins #scaleup https://lnkd.in/dV4EQagd

🇪🇺 📊 FoodTech looks really different in leading European ecosystems! We used DigitalFoodLab's database of European FoodTech deals to compare where the money was going for Europe's five leading ecosystems for 2023 and the first half of 2023. As you can see, they are super diverse, without a lot in common between them. 1 - The UK, France, and Germany have very diverse ecosystems: each with a leading category and a couple of followers: - The UK: food science, and more specifically brands (from pet food to beverages) is leading with more than half of the total funding. - Germany: delivery remains strong (it seems that quick-commerce deals are still a thing). - France: AgTech, notably animal feed (insects) with strong foodservice and supply chain chain categories. 2 - The Netherlands have an ecosystem highly concentrated on Delivery (and a single unicorn, Picnic) and on AgTech (more diverse). 3 - Switzerland: the country appeared on the radars last year due to a single huge deal ($325M) in Atlas Agro, a bioinputs (AgBiotech). Beyond that, the ecosystem is quite small, and wouldn’t be here. 👉 If you want to access to the full report on the state of the European ecosystem (70+ pages full of insights and data, ask for the link in the comments) #graphs #foodtech #agtech #europe
