The EIT Food Accelerator Network Helsinki hub’s 2022 programme was kickstarted two weeks ago. The programme received plenty of interest also this year, and the numerous high-quality applications set the bar very high for this year’s cohort.
The previous two programmes have been very successful with a lot of positive feedback from the programme alumni – but the improvement ideas have also been considered. This year we’re grateful for the possibility of organising more interactive, on-site workshops & working sessions with the teams and programme partners. The programme will also be more personalised to meet the unique needs of the participants based on their maturity level.
This year we also received a new partner for the programme; welcome on board Lantmännen! The other fantastic local partners are familiar with us from the previous years, including Valio, Paulig/PINC, Nordea, and Nordic Foodtech VC.
