To join, it’s really easy. Simply register by submitting some basic information about yourself, and we will then keep you up to date on all our startup training programmes and events happening throughout the year. We collaborate with many leading organisations from all areas of the agrifood industry, who have been critical to the impact of this community since our programmes first launched in 2018.

To qualify, all project teams and registered startup companies must first answer some programme eligibility questions. All you need to do is join our community and you will then be invited to answer these questions as soon as applications are open at the beginning of January. For more information about programme eligibility, you can also take a look at the information on our programme pages, which include FAQ’s and some key insights from our alumni.

Once you’ve been selected for a programme, you will be granted lifelong access to our ecosystem, which is a network of amazing startups, founders, investors, mentors, and talent coaches. EIT Food works in partnership with over 80 leading businesses, universities, and research organisations across Europe, with so many inspiring stories to tell of successful pilot projects across all of our key focus areas. The EIT Food Impact Fund has also been key in driving the business growth of our cohort teams and alumni.
