The New AgVentures programme is a one stop shop for companies from the Central-Eastern Europe to get to know trends, look for solutions to make their supply chain more resilient and learn from their peers.
The programme picks top market-asked-for areas of innovation among EIT-Food’s missions and priority areas to support the agrifood industry in innovating.

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.
