Welcome to the EIT FAN Helsinki Hub Demo Day 2022! This event will be onsite at Maria 01 in Helsinki on Thursday, October 6th, 2022.
We kicked off the ’22 programme in June with 10 exciting startups. At this event, we will wrap up the programme with a set of keynotes and pitches as well as a showcase of their work.
Join us on this exciting day as we reveal what our 2022 cohort has been developing and how they are pushing foodtech and agritech forward with their innovations together with the EIT FAN Helsinki Hub partners. By attending, you will learn about their innovations within alternative protein, targeted nutrition, sustainable agriculture, sustainable aquaculture and digital traceability.
