It even managed to maintain a slight growth in the number of Foodtech companies\, which increased from 412 startups in 2022 to 420 in 2023 but also includes over 30\,000 companies engaged in food transformation. Moreover\, the sector benefits from the collaboration with more than 50 specialized universities and 20 advanced technology centres. \nAfter the success of last year’s event\, this will be the second edition of our pitching webinar featuring Spanish startups with key actors from the Swiss Foodtech ecosystem\, in cooperation with Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley (SFNV). \n \n Register now\n \n \n \n \n \n The 7 pitching Spanish startups include: \n\nSanygran: Extruded food products made of legumes and cereals as substitute for meat.\nCocoon Bioscience: Cost-effective production of high-value bioactive proteins and specialized enzymes for food (cellular agriculture) and healthcare (gene therapies).\nLibre Foods: Fungi-based meat substitutes.\nOmnivorus: Healthy snacks and substitutes for meat\, cocoa and other food products from proteins based on algae and vegetable fish.\nBioMixing: Accelerated generation of bioreactors\, with application in the Biotech and Foodtech industries.\nGimme Sabor: Quality ingredients from sustainable crops.\nBrava Drinks: Artisanal\, healthy and low-sugar soft drink made from premium kombucha through slow fermentation.\n\nFor a comprehensive exploration of the current state and challenges of the country’s food sector\, feel free to download the full report here. \nThe Foodtech ecosystems in Spain and Switzerland thrive on vibrancy\, driven by factors such as quality\, innovation\, substantial venture capital investments\, and robust government support. These elements collectively contribute to making both countries highly attractive for companies and startups and open up the space for synergies and complementarities. \nRegister below to join us! \n \n Register now URL:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/event-listing/switzerland-spain-foodtech-ecosystem-sessions-2024-online/ LOCATION:Online event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Switzerland-Spain-Foodtech-Ecosystem-20241.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20240523T163000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20240523T173000 DTSTAMP:20260503T191027 CREATED:20230926T112404Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240326T105009Z UID:10000086-1716481800-1716485400@swissfoodnutritionvalley.com SUMMARY:Meet the Valley DESCRIPTION:“Meet The Valley” is a monthly virtual meet-up for anyone interested to find out more about Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley and the Swiss food ecosystem.

This time\, together with Valley partners Nestlé and Tetra Pak\, we’ll be taking a deep dive into the world of sustainable materials for packaging. \nThe issue\nSince 2015\, the global population has increased by 10%\, while the global economy has consumed 70% more materials than what the planet can replenish. As little as 8.6% of materials abstracted are currently repurposed. A shift from the current model – “take-make-waste” – to a circular economy is needed to tackle climate change\, biodiversity loss\, waste and pollution. \nThe opportunity\nSustainable packaging is a multifaceted opportunity for a more sustainable food system with various environmental\, social\, and economic dimensions. It involves knowledge sharing and collaboration among different stakeholders\, including manufacturers\, retailers\, consumers\, and policymakers\, to work towards reducing the overall environmental impact of packaging materials and processes. \nWhy you should join us\nThis event will take a deep dive into the world of sustainable materials for packaging\, exploring current innovations in alternatives to wood fibres for paper substrates and high-performing bio-based polymers\, enabling knowledge sharing and networking\, and identifying the most promising business opportunities and areas for collaboration between ecosystem actors. It will also bring together leading Swiss and EU experts and Swiss and international startups who will pitch during the event. \n \n \n \n \n \n The Agenda\n09:30  Coffee & Networking \n10:00   Welcome & Desired OutcomesFood packaging\, planetary boundaries and Switzerland’s roleChristina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO – Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley \n10:10  State of Play of Sustainable Packaging Trends & Challenges\, Q&AFelix Grünewald\, Partner\, McKinsey \n10:50 Overview of Research & Innovation in Packaging & Sustainable Materials; Q&A \nAlternative Fibres \nNanocellulose from residual biomass for food packaging applicationDr. Gilberto Siqueira\, Research Scientist\, Empa \nAlternative high-performing bio-based polymers \nSide streams of agri-food Industry as an alternative packaging materialProf. Dr. Selçuk Yildirim\, ZHAW School of Life Sciences and Facility Management\, Centre for Food Production and Packaging \n11:20 Break: Coffee to go \n11:30 The EU Policy & Regulatory Context: the “Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation” : what implications?; Q&AHazel O’Keeffe\, Partner\, Keller and Heckman LLP \n12:10 Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley Partners: “Sustainable Packaging: the way ahead”Ingemar Jacobsson\, Director Material Solutions\, Development & Technology\, Tetra PakRob Hoitink\, R&D Packaging Lead\, Nestlé  \n12:30 Lunch & poster session for startups & academic innovation \n13:30 Focus on solutions – Introduction \nChristina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO\, Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley \n13:35  “Modification of Polymers for High Performance Sustainable Plastics Solutions”  (10’) \nProf. Holger Frauenrath\, Laboratory of Macromolecular and Organic Materials (LMOM)\, Institute of Materials (IMX) at EPFL \n13:45  “Recent advances in R&D&I to further drive the implementations toward a bioeconomy” \nProf. Tomas Anderson\, Head of Key Accounts\, RISE \n13:55  Q&A \n14:05  Pitches from start-ups \n14:40  Interactive session \n15:00  Open mic discussion from all groups \n15:15  Final remarks\, lessons learnt & next steps \nIngemar Jacobsson\, Director Material Solutions\, Development & Technology\, Tetra Pak  \nRob Hoitink\, R&D Packaging Lead\, Nestlé  \nChristina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO – Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley \n15:30  End \nWith support from : Bern Economic Development Agency \nGETTING THERE: \nBERNEXPO\, Entrance A \nSee general  map of the venue and more specific details to access Entrance A and Parking \nFor those arriving by car : parking rates are: first hour CHF 4.00\, CHF 2.00 per additional 30 minutes. daily maximum for 24 hours CHF 38.00 \nFor those arriving by train/tramt the nearest station is Wankdorf Center (3 min walk)  \n  URL:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/event-listing/imagining-the-packaging-of-the-future-sustainable-solutions-unwrapped-1-0/ LOCATION:BERNEXPO AG\, Mingerstrasse 6\, Bern\, Bern\, 3000\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Co-hosted event,SFNV event,Valley partners only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Copy-of-State-of-Play-Event-calendar-header-1-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley":MAILTO:events@sfnv.ch END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20240612T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20240612T133000 DTSTAMP:20260503T191027 CREATED:20221216T080818Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240530T132220Z UID:10000045-1718184600-1718199000@swissfoodnutritionvalley.com SUMMARY:Walking the Valley: Meet the Swiss Food Ecosystem - For International Startups DESCRIPTION:Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley’s (SFNV) “Walking the Valley: Meet the Swiss Food Ecosystem” is an official side event of the Hack Summit for international startups.
