EIT Food partnerships

EIT Food is a network of organisations that are complementary, demonstrate excellence in their domain and show commitment to the objectives of EIT Food.

Partnering for impact

To maximise our impact and to truly make the food system future-fit, we need to create a strong, diverse partnership model which engages in systems challenges aligned to our three missions:

  • Healthier lives through food
  • A net zero food system
  • Managing risk for a fair and resilient food system

This will help us to focus on the strength of our portfolio rather than measuring success on individual project basis.

Our partnership model includes three categories, Community Member, Delivery Partner and Strategic Partner. These are based on the type of role that individual organisations want to play in the EIT Food community and are aligned to the services that we are delivering as a Knowledge Innovation Community (KIC).

Our 3 partnership categories

We believe in the value of diversity within our partnership. The size of your organisation does not determine the categories open to you, and our fee structure also reflects this. We want to encourage a range of organisations from across the agrifood sector to join each of our three different partnership categories - from startups, right through to large global corporates, universities and research organisations.

Choose the best path for your organisation.

Community Member

If your organisation is interested in the value of being part of a dynamic network, to connect with and support our strategic and delivery partners, then the Community members might be the right membership for you.

Delivery Partner

If your organisation would like to focus on implementation and delivery of impact through projects and programmes, then Delivery partner would be the right membership for you

Strategic Partner

If your organisation would like to be involved in setting the agenda for a future-fit food system, then Strategic partner would be the right membership for you.

Next Steps

More information on the new partnership approach and all of the relevant documentation is available here on FoodHIVE (Documents | EIT FoodHIVE). Please do take a look, if you have any questions please email partnership@eitfood.eu or drop your regional contact an email.
