Brazil plays a key and unique role in the world’s food supply, which is why we’re excited to announce our first expansion into the LATAM region through the Brazil FAN Hub. The new hub will enable us to bring more innovative agrifood-tech startups into the EIT Food network and provide the mentoring and connections needed to help them accelerate, and we are thrilled to collaborate with FoodTech HUB Latam to help us do this.”
