Open call for the 5th edition of Food (Tech)² Challengers for startups
Description
Participation in the 5th edition of the Food (Tech)² Challengers program is open until March 30, within the framework of collaboration between the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) and the National Center for Food Technology and Safety (CNTA).
The program seeks:
- Technology-based foodtech startups with innovative solutions that can be applied to the agri-food value chain.
- Legally established in Spain and whose productive activity takes place within the national territory.
- With a well-defined technological challenge that can be addressed during the program execution period and that with its resolution we achieve a positive impact on the development of the project.
A selection committee will select between 4 and 8 startups that will benefit from advantages such as the generation of their own IP, access to CNTA's capabilities and expertise , visibility, mentoring to connect their developments with consumers, or membership in the Food (Tech)2 Challengers Club.
A total of 19 participating startups and 22 technological challenges overcome since 2021 have illuminated the trajectory of Food (Tech)2 Challengers. Once again, the program will seek the participation of startups that want to improve their technological solvency and reach the next level of development.
And this year brings an important novelty: the deadline to overcome the challenges posed by the startups that are selected is extended from 6 to 7 months.
