Foodtechies presents

Feeding the             Future

a FoodTech Hackathon

June 26th to 28th 2020

Overview
Why Food + Tech?
Why an Online Hackathon?
Why this event is needed?

The restrictions in travel and trade caused by CoVid-19 have resulted severe disruptions and bottlenecks to our food supply chain systems. 

Investing in Food and FoodTech are the key to dealing with these disruptions, now and in the future.

 

This is what Feeding the Future is about.

Most of these disruptions will likely have long-term lasting effects on our food systems. What many of these effects will be is still unknown.
 

Whatever the case is, we need to think about what the mid-term and long-term effects on the food industry will be, and start preparing for them now.

Hackathons, are a great way to ideate, co-create, create and further develop startups 

 

With online hackathons, we can:

  • Implement the hackathon more rapidly than a face-to-face one

  • Reach a wider audience more easily

  • Prepare new startups for a pre-accelerator or accelerator program
