F&A Next 2020 – Impact of COVID-19
In 2020 F&A Next went fully virtual due to the sudden and quick worldwide outbreak of the Corona-virus. In little to no time we switched our two day program to a 2,5 hour webinar. On 13 May 2020 the first virtual edition of F&A Next took place. Well over 1,100 participants from 67 countries tuned in on the live webinar! The viewers rated the 2020 edition with an impressive score of 8.8 / 10.
The overall theme of this edition was, not surprisingly, the Impact of COVID-19 in the F&A Industry. Investors openly discussed how the Corona pandemic affected investment decisions. In cooperation with Agfunder, we presented the highlights of our annual report on Food- & Agtech Investments in Europe. And, of course, we proudly presented eight startups that were selected as the Next Heroes in Food- & Agtech 2020.
