Accelerating innovation to create positive change in the food system

Together we can accelerate innovation to create positive change in the food system

Have you got an idea for an innovative project that will create positive change in the food system? Then we want to hear from you.

If you’ve got an innovative project that will create positive change in the food system, we want to help. We’re looking for projects that will put new products on the market, introduce new and improved commercial processes and services, and achieve:

• Healthier Lives Through Food
• A Net Zero Food System
• A Fully Transparent, Fair and Resilient Food System

We can provide funds of up to 70% of your project costs to de-risk your investment, leaving you free to focus on finishing rather than funding.

Who can apply?

You don’t have to be an existing partner organisation or member of EIT Food to apply for funding but, by becoming one, you’ll gain access to a valuable source of expertise and potential collaborators to work with.

We’ll provide you with access to our online community to help build your consortium if, or when, you decide to apply for funding.

How to participate?

Once the Call is open, full proposals will need to be submitted on PLAZA, our online submission platform.

The first step for new organisations is to set up an account via this link. If you have registered previously, you do not need to re-register, as you already have access to PLAZA.
