EIT Food Start-up Awareness Events for the development of technology and entrepreneurship in the agri-food industry
NVO Green Home, in cooperation with EIT Food, is organizing the “EIT Food Startup Awareness Event,” which will consist of two parts: the EIT Food Challenge Lab, a multi-phase program designed using principles of design thinking and service design, and a networking event for members of the local innovative agricultural ecosystem.
The EIT Food Challenge Lab Agrifood Hackathon will take place over three days (21.11, 25.11, and 27.11) in a hybrid format, combining online and in-person activities. Participants will engage in education, teamwork, and mentoring sessions, culminating in a final presentation of their ideas. Prizes will be awarded to the three best teams.
A networking event will also be organized for members of the agri-food and innovative ecosystem, serving as a platform to discuss current challenges and opportunities in the local agri-food system and to introduce participants to EIT Food’s activities.
The Challenge Lab is a project initiated by EIT FOOD (European Institute of Innovation and Technology). The mission of the Institute is to build an innovative community in Europe and support the development of technology and entrepreneurship in the agri-food industry. Challenge Labs are designed to address major issues in the food sector by bringing together diverse groups of people and using innovative tools and methodologies.
We invite startups, investors, food companies, universities and research centers, ministries, innovation agencies, companies from the agri-food sector, clusters, and farmer associations to join us in tackling current challenges and fostering long-term growth in Montenegro’s agri-food sector.
