Innovation programs

Accelerators. Bootcamps. Solution scouting.

There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to innovation. We work with clients across food industry and develop custom solutions to their needs. In our previous roles we have led teams in the FMCG companies, managed restaurants, worked with and invested in startups. Solutions can be as diverse as our experience. One thing they will have in common is our commitment to sustainability, efficiency and excellent results.

Stockholm: The Good Food City

Client: Stockholm Business Region

As the majority of the global population has moved into cities, food has become one of the largest sources of consumption-based emissions. It is up to the cities with sustainability and health at their core, where tech and creativity are mature industries to drive that change. The cities where conscious consumers, chefs, entrepreneurs, and policymakers come together for inspiration and co-creation of solutions for the future. We believe Stockholm is that place.

Thinking outside the box
