The Summit will be also a great opportunity for the participants to know more about all the different programmes that the European Union provides for the 2020 – 2027 period in the field of agrifood innovation, such as Horizon Europe or LIFE Programme. With regard to this, our CEO, Juanma Revuelta, will give a talk on “How to stimulate the smart agrifood ecosystem for startups in Europe”, on 21 June at 11:00 a.m, in which he will not only explain all programmes in the frame of the the Common Agricultural Policy mentioned above, but also Fast Track to Innovation, which allows entrepreneurs to access subsidies up to 3 million euros. Besides, experts from Startup Europe Accelerator will solve all doubts about the programme.
