The updated proposal will be shared with the expert panel for evaluation and recommendation for support. All supports made available to the AgriFood TechPreneurs will be dependent on the quality of their proposal, their participation at the he 6 week interactive course on Entrepreneurship, Tech and Sustainability in the Food System and the supports that our partners can provide to them. These supports will be announced in June as we celebrate World Sustainable Gastronomy Day; providing more visibility for the AgriFood TechPreneurs.
