Flavoria Innovation Festival 13.-17.11.2023
Registration is open now for all students interested to participate. Sign-up latest on the October 30th!
Solving challenges in the food chain requires expertise from different fields. The development of the food chain’s operations also plays a significant role in the implementation of climate goals – for instance, the climate crisis and the loss of biodiversity can be partially tackled by renewing the global food system.
Flavoria Innovation Festival focuses on these developments in the food chain. During the event, teams solve challenges presented directly by companies.
