Connecting innovation to investment

Funding plays a critical role in moving a solution from an idea to something ready to scale, allowing entrepreneurs, SMEs, researchers and inventors to design, test, adapt and/or adopt technologies, and eventually commercialise their innovations.

 

 

However, accessing external finance for innovative solutions in food systems can be challenging for both individuals and small companies with limited resources to navigate the highly competitive market for initial investments.

Here you’ll find a searchable directory of investors, funders and donors actively looking to support up and coming innovative food system solutions.

With the objective of connecting innovators to investors, we hope that the portal can help to make some mutually beneficial new matches!
