Ensuring nutritious, safe food
Young entrepreneurs have been invited to participate in the innovation challenge "Food Frontiers 2.0", which aims to ensure supply and consumption of safe, nutritious food.
Food Frontiers is for rising young entrepreneurs to bring disruptive changes in food systems. The programme aims to find creative business concepts, inexpensive and scalable technical solutions, and campaign ideas that will help provide food and nutrition for underprivileged people.
Scaling Up Nutrition Business Network, which is co-convened by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, a Switzerland-based international organisation, and World Food Programme jointly took the initiative, said a press release.
Those interested have been requested to place their submissions online through the web link: foodfrontiers.live
A short-list will be made after scrutinising the submissions as the first selection round, through a panel of judges from diverse backgrounds relating to entrepreneurship and academia.
Representatives from the selected businesses/ideas will attend a three-day residential boot camp in the capital as part of investment readiness training and business expansion.
The process of submitting applications for the competition has already started, and the last date of submission is January 15, 2023. However, the submission deadline may be extended due to massive responses from applicants.
Seven winners (two each from three categories), including one reserved prize for the International Nutrition Olympiad (INO), will get cash and pre-seed funding for implementing their business plan, expanding the business, and infrastructure development.
