Tomorrow's world needs food innovators today. Are you making the food chain more sustainable, smarter, more efficient or healthier with your idea or company, but are you still struggling with your revenue model? Register for the introductory workshop of the Business Innovation Program Food (BIPF).

During this workshop you will be introduced to the entire program in an accessible way and you will have plenty of room to ask questions. Afterwards you will know for sure whether the program suits your company.  

The BIPF supports start-ups and existing SMEs that want to contribute to the food transition. Within 10 modules you will receive answers to important questions that will ultimately form your basis for a healthy business case. All kinds of companies – more than 50 in total – have already participated in the program. For example, from agriculture and horticulture, the food processing industry, data and technology and (logistics) services.  

During the BIPF program you will receive:  
  • a step-by-step method in which we train you to get started with your vision, customer, product, impact, revenue model, your team and collaborations at the right time and in the right way;  
  • a weekly plenary theory session, alternately online or at a central location in the Netherlands, in which you receive feedback from the trainers, supervisors and other participants;  
  • practical assignments to prepare and complete each module;  
  • valuable one-on-one guidance with a business development specialist from your local regional development agency (ROM);  
  • a conclusion with a 100-day plan, so that you can continue to work on concrete objectives after the program.  
  What you get: 
  • A significantly greater chance of success from idea to sustainable revenue model 
  • A sharp focus on prioritizing attention, time and money in the start-up phase 
  • In-depth knowledge and insight into who and where your customer is and with which revenue model, clear communication of your idea or company, insight into the right collaboration partners and a concrete step-by-step plan for the next growth phase  
  • A useful and educational cross-pollination between other participating companies that are also active in the agri-food sector  
  • A valuable contribution to a more sustainable and healthier economy
