Desafia Foodtech Netherlands is an initiative by ICEX in collaboration with Unknown Group developed between 2021 and 2023 to foster meaningful connections between the Spanish and Dutch food ecosystems
This programme was designed to assist startups in expanding their operations by providing international scaling opportunities. Additionally, it offered Dutch industry leaders a chance to explore cutting-edge food tech solutions.
For Spanish startups and small companies seeking to enter the Netherlands, this program was the perfect fit! We guided them in identifying the ideal product-market fit and helped them establish their business successfully within the Dutch food tech market. Our program offered a range of activities, including internationalization strategy workshops, sessions on Partnership development, visits to industry leaders, one-on-one matchmaking sessions, and a mentoring program. By participating, companies gained access to some of the world's most innovative technological ecosystems.
