Challenge Lab Re:Generator – From Idea to a Greener Future

Step into the world of innovation and sustainability with Challenge Lab Re:Generator – a thrilling research and entrepreneurship competition that brings together brilliant minds ready to reshape the future of agriculture. Organized by NALED, in partnership with the University of Novi Sad – Faculty of Agriculture, as part of the EIT Food Hub Serbia program, this inspiring event unites students, researchers, and startups in a joint mission to develop visionary ideas that will accelerate the transition toward regenerative agriculture in Serbia. With the guidance of expert mentors, participants will explore new ways to protect soil health, enhance resource efficiency, and design sustainable solutions for the food systems of tomorrow.

Participants will master design thinking, gain exclusive insights from industry leaders, and co-create ideas that can transform the agri-food ecosystem. For students, it’s a launchpad for learning and innovation; for startups, a unique opportunity to connect with experts, present their solutions, and win valuable prizes – €1,000, €700, and €500 for the top teams.
