“The Food Innovation Camp in Hamburg is the hub of the food scene and a MUST VISIT if you want to launch an innovative new product on the market. It is more than just a fair where you can present yourself ideally as a startup, but a format where you can get to know potential investors, customers, industry experts, inspirers, other founders and mentors. We were able to make valuable contacts.”
