EIT Food supports agrifood entrepreneurs across Europe, ​driving innovation to meet the big food challenges we face, ​to create a healthier, more trusted and sustainable food system.​

Whether you’re seeking to validate your business idea with potential customers, a startup looking to partner with corporates or a scaleup wanting to expand internationally, EIT Food Business Creation programmes are designed to grow and scale your business.

During these Information Sessions we tell you about all the support we offer and help you decide which might be the best programme for you. A short description of the programmes we offer is below.

These sessions are open to all entrepreneurs from across Europe. Please note, however, some of the programmes we will present are only available to entrepreneurs from Southern and Eastern Europe.

Following a short 20 minute presentation, we will leave plenty of time for questions.
