EIT Food Innovator Fellowship aims to identify talents worldwide with creative and innovative potential, wishing to expand their skill repertoire through advanced training to develop an innovative idea with a significant impact on the agri-food sector.
The critical feature of the Innovator Fellowship programme is the creation of strong and multidisciplinary working teams, beginning with a Hackathon and continuing with two cornerstones of the programme:
- One-to-one support to the teams by expert mentors to turn initial ideas into mature business propositions.
- Two advanced training boot camps aimed to provide entrepreneurial competences and skills delivered by high-level trainers.
If you want to put your talent to the test and you’d like to know more about this programme, please find the details below. More information can be found on the Innovator Fellowship page. An upcoming webinar will provide further insights into the programme.
