The fourth edition of EIT Food Challenge Labs Hungary is coming and a special challenge awaits the participants: rethinking food packaging materials.
Most plastics and paper serve as single-use packaging, and it is predicted that the volume of waste from packaging will increase significantly unless an intervention is made.
Refillable, resealable, mono-material. These are the solutions we are looking for.
EIT Food Challenge Labs 2024 Hungary will provide participants with the opportunity to develop innovative, sustainable solutions, working in teams with the help of design thinking and service design trainers, learning and using the skills of innovation design methodology. Researching, brainstorming and prototyping will be supported by industry experts, so that teams can provide real, marketable solutions to the challenges.
Programme
Research: teams map the problem and develop research questions.
Brainstorming and prototyping: innovative concepts are developed based on the findings of the research.
Refinement of concept: with the help of industry mentors, they refine their ideas.
Pitch competition: teams present their solutions to a professional jury.
Participants will get to know the food industry and get in contact with industry experts and other innovative minds with similar interests and together they will have the opportunity to take their ideas and projects on to other programmes.
