Sustainable Food Investment Readiness Programme 2022
09-11-2022
Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) is looking for innovative UK SMEs who wish to seek private investment to fast-track sustainable food innovation and who would benefit from investment pitch training, mentorship and an opportunity to present to investors at an Investment Showcase Event.
The scope of the Sustainable Food Investment Readiness Programme includes:
- Agri tech
- Sustainable protein
- Controlled environment agriculture
- Low emission food production systems
The aim of the programme is to prepare SMEs to successfully and succinctly communicate their investment opportunity to investors and improve their chances of securing private funding for their innovation.
Successful applicants will receive online and in-person investment pitch training and mentorship, and an opportunity to present their final pitch to an internal Innovate UK and Innovate UK KTN selection panel.
Up to 14 participants from the training cohort will then be selected to present their investment pitch to a pool of private sector-relevant investors in the Sustainable Food Investment Showcase Event in February 2023.
All training will take place at the Innovate UK KTN London office unless otherwise stated.
