New Horizons in Agrifood Innovation: Join Us at New AgVentures. CEE Food Innovators Meetup!
Mark your calendars for March 21, 2024, and prepare to join us in Warsaw for a day that promises to connect and energize the agrifood sector. At NewAgVentures. CEE Food Innovators Meetup, we bring together visionary minds and groundbreaking ideas under one roof.
This event serves as a catalyst for exploring new trends, participating in enriching dialogues, and building lasting connections with pioneers and influencers in the agrifood industry of Central and Eastern Europe.
Background - why we created New Agventures
We face some vast challenges in the region:
- Disturbed food supply chain (COVID-19, war in Ukraine, economic crisis);
- Aversion to risk – low level of innovativeness;
- No horizontal and vertical integration of the agri-food sector;
- Pressure on environment. Climate change – result and impact.
Our objectives
Increased transparency, resilience & responsiveness of the industry & their chain through collaborative adoption of innovation. Integration and joint work towards more sustainable practices.
