Keynote “Building a smarter food system” Louise O. Fresco, President of Wageningen UR and Berry Marttin, Member of the Executive board, Rabobank

10.00 Panel 1 “Accelerating food & agtech innovation in Europe” At the cutting edge of innovation, start-ups often take an unconventional approach to the major issues in the food and agriculture chain. Yet, however bright the ideas, fi nancing is frequently a major obstacle to success. To date the US has taken a leadership position in funding these start-ups. What should be the role of the Netherlands and Europe as the sector evolves and will these young companies also need the support of large food and agriculture corporations to be successful?

14.30 Panel 3 “Investing in More with Less” Food production will have to grow by 60% to feed a world population of over nine billion in 2050. At the same time, resources such as land, water and fertilizer minerals are becoming scarce in some areas. Food & Agriculture impact our environment and are impacted by it in return. New partnerships for lower impact, sustainable products and processes are essential to succeed in producing “more with less”.

WELCOME!It is our pleasure to welcome you to F&A Next, Europe’s premier start-up event in food and agri. There is a growing need for healthy, versatile, suffi cient and safe food, yet the growing pressure on land is increasingly asking for less environmentally damaging production methods.

Start-ups often take unconventional approaches to the major food and agri related issues of our day. At the same time, they face obstacles to success such as funding and fi nding the right talents, coaching or partnerships to scale up. We hope and trust that F&A Next will prove to be invaluable in placing your creativity, innovative acumen and business model centre stage. That ideas and solutions will be identifi ed with both societal impact and economic viability. And that many connections and deals will be made.

During this two-day event and in the future, F&A Next will be a hotbed of innovation in food and agriculture. We wish you an inspiring and successful encounter of ideas and opportunities.
