Agrifood Corporate Venturing Launchpad | Greece

The South Europe Corporate Venturing Community is a learning community for +20 innovation leaders of agrifood companies in the South of Europe. The success of this experience signalled the opportunity to expand open innovation knowledge and practices in the region beyond large multinationals. To do this EIT Food South has created the Corporate Venturing Launchpad series, a workshop program to share best practices, and learning and identify touchpoints and collaboration among corporations that are part of the agrifood value chain in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Turkey.  This series of workshops open the door to the international community of open innovation and corporate venturing practice.

The workshop in Greece will take place in Thessaloniki next May 24th in Thessaloniki, hosted within the Beyond conference.
