NTN Swiss Food Ecosystems: take part in 4 new ideation campaigns

Making the agri-food ecosystem healthier and more sustainable

Innosuisse's NTN Innovation Booster " Swiss Food Ecosystems " has opened 4 new ideation campaigns to meet the challenges of our agri-food ecosystem:

• Smart Nutrition: how can we promote a healthier, more targeted, individualized and sustainable diet, accessible to all?
• Digitization in agriculture : how could field robots be used to optimize agricultural production?
• Fungi 2.0: how can new fungi systems be used to shape a more sustainable and healthier agri-food system?
• Open challenge: how can we improve the agri-food ecosystem for a better world?

Each challenge will be described in detail on the HYPE platform.

Fostering a holistic, collaborative culture through open innovation

These ideation campaigns are the ideal place to submit your ideas, receive feedback, and find the right implementation partners at design thinking workshops to be held this autumn(dates here).

The winning ideas will receive :

For some campaigns, the co-managing organization may sponsor individual ideas.
