Desafia 2023: Meet the most promising FoodTech startups from Spain

The Desafía Foodtech program focuses on soft landing solutions of innovative Spanish startups that bring revolutionary food solutions to the Netherlands, being adopted by Dutch industry leaders across the value chain. During the Desafia program, participants explore collaboration opportunities in the domain of food & agri with industry leaders like Rabobank, StartLife, Foodvalley, and more..

The program kick off with the Food 4 Future event in Bilbao, where startups connect with other innovative entrepreneurs and gain valuable insights into the latest trends and technologies in the FoodTech industry. Following this, the startups participate in mentoring sessions with their Growth Advisors to gather knowledge about the Dutch market and participate in a range of activities that help them to identify new opportunities and build strong connections with key industry players.

In June, participants travelled to the Netherlands for a two-week immersion program where they had the opportunity to learn from industry experts, gain valuable insights into the local market, and connect with potential partners and investors. At the end of the program, participants know everything they need to scale their business to the Netherlands.
