The EIT Food Venture Summit gathers all relevant stakeholders and actors from across the European agrifood innovation community for matchmaking. It is also a celebration of the EIT Food Business Creation activities, such as the RisingFoodStars start-up club, award ceremonies of the EIT Food Accelerator Network (EIT FAN) and Global Food Venture (GFV) programme.

This invitation-only will be held on Wednesday 28 November at the state-of-the-art venue Station F in Paris, a 34 000m² start-up campus that gathers a whole entrepreneurial ecosystem under one roof. At the event you will have the opportunity to meet a cohort of agri-food start-ups - current & new RisingFoodStars - and finalists of the EIT FAN and RIS innovation grants. You will also be able to learn about the entrepreneurial ideas of the Global Food Venture Programme (GFVP).
