Alumni Spotlight

No matter if you have a breakthrough idea or not, GFVP puts you in the centre of a network that will test your business idea, giving you the tools to see beyond technology. It was a rewarding self-improvement experience, both personal and professional.

The GFVP was an amazing experience from the beginning; coaching helped me through all the steps. The Programme improved my entrepreneurial mindset, and my project had an organic evolution.

All those EIT Food programmes brought me a lot of tools, skills and contacts that were instrumental in my journey as an entrepreneur. I had workshops about pitching and financing that were immediately applicable to my first steps with Cano-ela.

The programme provided invaluable guidance from seasoned professionals and facilitated connections with fellow entrepreneurs.

The current food production system is not sustainable at all, so we need to tackle the effect of climate change and rethink our agriculture. The GFVP programme gave me the chance to train my entrepreneurial skills and to develop a business mindset with a more global perspective. This is crucial in what I’m doing today. I still benefit from the support and the network.
