Are you an entrepreneur or a start-up in the sector of non-wood forest products and you are searching for potential partners, customers, funders, business angels or you simply want to disseminate your business idea through networking? Do you work in a established company, a public organisation or an agency promoting entrepreneurship or rural development? Are you involved in sectors such as forestry, agriculture, food processing, bio-based materials or rural tourism? Then this event is for you!
The Innovative Businesses and Entrepreneurship in Non-Wood Forest Products cross-cutting seminar, the second one of the Innovation Networks for Cork, Resins and Edibles (INCREDIBLE) H2020 project, will be entirely devoted to non-wood forest products (NWFP) entrepreneurship, engaging participants through stimulating and participatory ways to express business innovation and creativity.
The event is organised by EFIMED in Barcelona on 27 and 28 February 2020 and will include a B2B market and meetings on its second day. For this reason, INCREDIBLE is now looking for entrepreneurs and new companies in the NWFP sector who wish to present their business ideas to a diverse audience and cross-pollinate innovative business ideas between NWFP-sector and other sectors. They offer you a space for an oral presentation (morning session) and a stand at the market (both on February 28).
The marketplace is open to any entrepreneur, start-up, established company, public organisation or agency interested in non-wood forest products (such as cork, pine oleoresin, aromatic & medicinal plants, mushrooms & truffles or nuts & berries) or working in any aforementioned related sector; or devoted to the promotion of entrepreneurship or rural development.
The event is free of charge and includes a networking lunch. English will be the official language.
You can register before 9 February 2020. Please, note that the number of pitches is limited and they are assigned on the basis of first come, first served.
