SUN X - Program

Food Day & Night

September 9th, 12 pm - 12 am

Whether it is plant or cell-based meat, food waste or personalized nutrition, proteins from bioreactors or autonomous farming machines – the agrifood sector has changed dramatically by innovations of startups.

Consumers, especially younger generations, have changed their food consumption towards a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. Keeping the climate change in mind, agrifood companies are rapidly having to transform their businesses to the next level.

Digital- and tech-driven agrifood innovations disrupt the established food industry fast, the demand to adapt is high. Therefore this year's Startupnight focuses after 2019 again on the topic of food.
