​Request for ​Inspire & RIS Inspire ​Implementing Participants

EIT Food is seeking implementing participants to implement training activities about food systems for Inspire & RIS Inspire programmes, which are designed with an overarching Entrepreneurship Spine and with technical skills about Food Systems, to run in 2023-2025. The overall approach is experiential and hands-on, thus, giving the participants a toolkit to become effective innovators in the food system. The programmes provide training in food systems and equip with knowledge on design thinking, business idea development, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, team building, market research, risk analysis, negotiation, pitching, etc.  

Each Inspire Programme is designed and delivered by a consortium of partners led by an Activity Leadership Team.

The implementing participants must have relevant expertise and networks in the following 3 mission areas:

1. HEALTHIER LIVES THROUGH FOOD – enabling more consumers to make better choices through access to healthier products and actionable information.

2. NET-ZERO FOOD SYSTEMS – reducing CO2 equivalent emissions by tackling CO2 hotspots, reducing the footprint of proteins through diversification, and creating new markets for food waste.

3. A FULLY TRANSPARENT, RESILIENT AND FAIR FOOD SYSTEM – a more resilient, trusted food supply chain with people experiencing greater food security and safety through widespread digitally enabled food supply chains.
