Partners' Quarterly Meet Up
2022-12-07 10:00 - 11:00 (Europe/Zurich)
Save the date for SFNV Q4 Members Quarterly online meeting. An event opportunity to advance member collaborations and exchange with SFNV team and members. We facilitate this session to advance knowledge sharing across the food ecosystem and to spotlight the quarter that we have just had.
What’s Cooking in the Valley?
The answer to that question and more will be covered in Members Quarterly meet ups. During the session, our members will get to know more about what other ecosystem actors are working on, explore how they can offer support, relevant industry news bulletins and find out what the SFNV core team is planning for the year.
Invitations for the fourth members quarterly event of the year will be sent out to all members directly so save the date!
