e-Breakfast - Biotech applied for food

The 'e-Breakfast' sessions provide an excellent opportunity for networking, exchanging ideas, and engaging in meaningful discussions with fellow partners. During these breakfast meetings, partners will have the chance to learn about each other's work, ask questions, and share valuable insights that could spark potential collaborations. This will help you gain a deeper understanding of the EIT Food community and contribute to the transformation we are driving within the agrifood ecosystem.

This webinar will be highly engaging and visual, lasting no more than one hour. Each session will feature three organisations who will share their perspectives on a specific topic related to their work, with time allocated for networking and interaction among participants. Join us – you won’t be disappointed!

On September 24th at 10am, the topic will be 'Biotech applied for food'. We will be joined by experts/organisations who will present their projects, missions, roles within EIT Food, and areas of expertise:
