WHERE INVESTORS MEET FOOD & AGRI STARTUPS

F&A Next is an initiative by Rabobank, Wageningen University & Research, Anterra Capital and StartLife, collectively believing that innovation will be key to sustainably feed future generations. Disruptive innovation in itself is not enough; it also needs to be implemented and transformed into tangible applications. Entrepreneurs are needed for their drive, investors for their belief and corporates for their mass impact.

To stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship the partners initiated F&A Next in 2016. F&A Next is about thought leadership and connecting promising start-ups and scale-ups, to dedicated food & agtech investors and innovative corporates. Normally it includes one and a half day of networking, pitching and debating the dynamics in food and agriculture. Due to the Corona crisis the 2021 edition entails -once more- a live webinar on 26 May.

If you are wholeheartedly committed to the need for innovation in Food & Agriculture than make sure you don’t miss out on the sixth edition on 26 May.

IMPACT OF INNOVATION

At the sixth edition of F&A Next top executives and opinion leaders discuss the impact of innovation in the agrifood industry and consumer behavior. And, of course, we proudly present to you eight startups that we believe are this years’ Next Heroes in Food- & AgTech.

The 2020 edition zoomed in on the impact of COVID-19 in the F&A Industry . It attracted well over 1,100 representatives from corporations, banks, venture capitalists and other investors, and of course, food and agri startups.
