EIT Food announces winners of Prize Based Challenge on Personalised Nutrition
Challenge aims to find new solutions to reduce obesity and malnutrition
“Worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975, while 3.5 billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies."
“However, by finding new solutions in personalised nutrition, we can help consumers to understand more about their bodies and thereby empower them to better manage their own health. However, there is still a need to make these technologies not only more accessible and affordable to a broader community but also more user-friendly and engaging.”
Each of the winners will be awarded €30,000, with the possibility of further funding from EIT Food in the future. The prize money will be used to support the development of the proposed solution into a viable project plan over the course of two to six months. EIT Food will select the most promising projects among the winners and allocate enough funding to sustain the development to go to market.
EIT Food’s second Prize Based Challenge will focus on cultivated meat, with winners to be announced at the EIT Food Venture Summit on 26th October 2022.
