FoodTech startups have a pivotal role in driving innovation.
That’s why CSM Group, a global ingredient-tech company comprising of both CSM Ingredients and HIFOOD, recently launched Generate.
Bringing added value to the F&B industry as an incubator of ingredient startups and food concepts.
“By offering application opportunities, cutting-edge facilities and commercial support to startups through Generate, we are confident we will be able to support many visionary innovators in validating their proofs of concept, with the collective aim of bringing ingredient innovation to the next level”, CSM Group Managing Director, Christian Sobolta tells us.
Through the Generate program they aim to help validate proofs of concept, find the perfect route to market and access new business networks.
And now they are keen to meet sustainable food startups offering different ingredient solutions to the food industry, as well as like-minded industries and forward-thinking investors.
That’s why Christian and the CSM Group team will be heading to the HackSummit this June 13-14th.
