Seedbed Alumni Webinar: Tips for Talking with Corporates

In preperation for the EIT Food Next Bite conference in Rome Oct. 15-16th, we want to take a moment with the Seedbed alumni to prepare to talk with corporates and potential customers. Even if you are not planning on attending the Next Bite event, this will still be a valuable webinar to brush up on your pitching skills.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

• How to prepare for an event
• How to get a meeting scheduled already before the event
• What to expect in your short meeting
• What corporates are looking for
• How to present yourself in the best way

Guest speaker

We have invited Dr Marie Brueser, a Corporate Venture Manager at EIT Food, as our guest speaker for the webinar. Marie focusess on connecting startups with corporates to enable tangible next steps to occur, such as proof of concept studies and pilots. As this is corporate driven, she has a thorough understanding for what corporates need and look for. Prior to this, she ran a global agrifood accelerator, so she knows how both startups and corporates work.

Investment opportunity

We will also have a chance to hear about the new EIT Food investment network: Connecta2Invest. This program provides a vibrant stage for your innovations to get spotted by European-wide and agrifood focused investors and corporates. Being profiled at Connecta2Invest will also provide you connections with industry experts to facilitate your commercial development.

We hope to see you online on October 9th!
