Plant-based seafood and plastic-eating insects among EIT Food’s Marketed Innovation Prize winners
“We’re delighted to have this opportunity to recognise and reward organisations that have participated in EIT Food programmes and are now creating real impact by bringing their products and services to market. From protein diversification to sustainable agriculture, the winners of the Marketed Innovation Prize are driving transformation across every part of our food system, whether by giving consumers exciting new options on supermarket shelves or offering food producers new techniques to maximise their efficiency.
“We look forward to following and supporting them in the next stages of their journeys and hope other entrepreneurs will be inspired by seeing what is possible.”
“EIT Food has supported the mission of Revo Foods to end overfishing with better alternatives from day one, and is one of the most important startup networks for us in Europe.
“It is truly astonishing what EIT Food have been able to accomplish with entrepreneurs in a short period of time, and we are sure that they will continue to be a driver of innovation for a sustainable food future in Europe and across the world.”
