Make it in the Valley brings startups and investors together
Are you building a food or agri startup or scale-up? Don't miss this inspiring afternoon in the heart of Foodvalley.
On June 16, we will celebrate the launch of Makeitinthevalley.nl! We do this with an inspiring Masterclass and a targeted matchmaking session between startups and investors.
We're kicking off with a hands-on masterclass by Durk Bosma (Future of Food Institute) on how to really understand your customers — and how to build better products and stronger business cases with real insights instead of assumptions.
At 16:00 we will officially launch Makeitinthevalley.com: the new platform that connects you to everything Foodvalley has to offer — from accelerators and test facilities to financing, partners and international growth opportunities.
We conclude with an intimate, focused matchmaking session with 10—15 investors active in food and agri startups and scale-ups. A great opportunity to connect, pitch and explore together what's next for your company.
