The European Food Venture Forum (EFVF) is taking place on the 30th and 31st of August 2017 in Aarhus, Denmark. The Forum will showcase emerging high tech companies and international food technologies, and is co-hosted by the City of Aarhus and Future Food Innovation, and sponsored by Arla Foods.

The EVFV will showcase some of Europe’s best innovative high-tech companies in food technologies, and it will offer a unique setting with pan-European networking for entrepreneurs, investors, corporate representatives and industry experts in the food sector.

The EFVF’s unique programme allows business networking at the highest level, from high level panels and in-depth discussion groups via presentations from corporations and fast growing companies, to private, pre-arranged One2One meetings.

Rewards for Selected Companies

Applying companies will be screened by the EFVF Advisory board, and about 30 companies will be selected to present at the Forum. Each selected company will have a 15 minute slot to present their business plans and answer questions from Venture Capital and Corporate investors, Business Angels and relevant key industry players. In addition, they will benefit from networking opportunities, local and international media exposure and potential opportunities to secure funding. This event is part of the European Venture Contest, which encompasses 15 Venture Forum format events throughout the year across Europe.
