Now is the time, the way forward together

No one can tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow all alone. That’s why we join forces, working closely with organisations, governments, and entrepreneurs who think and act sustainably. For over 15 years, we’ve been helping the world innovate, become more sustainable, and accelerate progress, creating visible impact that contributes both here in the Netherlands and beyond.

Together with our partners such as Rabobank Foundation, Gemeente Amsterdam, DOEN Foundation, and Food Hub we are kicking off the fifth edition of the Food Chain Accelerator. This program brings together national food entrepreneurs who are reimagining the food system around five themes: preventing food waste and loss, using food as a means for social inclusion, alternative proteins, short and fair supply chains, and access to sustainable, healthy food. We work towards a more sustainable food system by helping the food entrepreneurs become investment and partnership ready by providing masterclasses and strategic partnerships, impact measurement and investment process; assigning them to an experienced mentor from the industry and helping them implement the learning through sparring sessions and dedicated time to advance and enhance their business strategy
