Sales Booster will run online from September to mid-November. A detailed programme schedule will be presented to the selected startups upon announcement of the selection results.

The programme will provide tailored support to each startup considering its growth stage, current needs, and geographical focus.

All teams will attend regular sessions run by leading business and agrifood experts, fellow startup founders, EIT Food partners, and alumni. Each team will have regular one-on-one meetings with their personal growth advisor who will support their exploration process, help them assess their needs, and develop an internationalisation plan. Startups can request meetings with business and industry experts from the EIT Food network and our pool of experienced coaches.

By the end of the programme, each startup will develop an internationalisation action plan for a chosen country.
