Meet the Food Scale-ups | Soft-landing Program 2020

Impact Hub the Netherlands, Amsterdam Impact – the City of Amsterdam’s impact entrepreneurship programme – and ABN AMRO organised a 5-day digital soft-landing visit to Berlin for 6 sustainable food companies looking to expand into the German market. The entrepreneurs were introduced to stakeholders from retail and food service; the municipality; the local food, social enterprise, startup communities; investors; and production facilities. Over the course of the programme, they developed a go-to-market roadmap with the next steps and contacts to validate their business in the German food market!
