Kick-off! Batch #7 of the EIT Food Accelerator Network launched
Sunny moments, steep and exhausting climbs, and an unexpected hailstorm that left the entire group soaked - our kick-off hike of the EIT FAN program perfectly mirrored the startup journey.
The unpredictable weathers were also a tangible reminder why this Batch's motto, Future-Proof Agriculture, matters more than ever today.
Over 3 months, the European start-ups selected for the EIT FAN Munich Hub hosted by XPRENEURS will work on industry-changing solutions ranging from smart farming and modern pest control to autonomous field robots and phosphorus recovery from wastewater.
