Veluv.it is part of OPstart 2023 by Dansk Vegetarisk Forening. On the 12th April was the first networking event at CPH Food Space, in which we could discuss some topics with other food startups situated in Denmark. CPH Food Space is an innovation house for food especially for startups as well as scaleups. It is a democratic cooperative and owned by the companies working in it.
All the startups in this programme are in different phases. That’s what added additional life into the discussion. Since some of the startups in this programme are already in a later stadium, we could get some useful knowledge, but also give some input. During the workshops about possibilities for cooperations, we could generate some synergies.
In an inspiring talk by Dennis Hvam from Kombination the challenges for a well-implemented food company were outlined. Finally, Nanna Caspersen from Plantebranchen, the biggest plantbased business association in Europe, presented the most recent successes of Plantebranchen as well as the upcoming events.
To keep us all motivated and focused we were provided with coffee and delicious smørrebrød for frokost by OPstart. As a food highlight for the day, Illu from PlantPulses brought some of her creative and delicious product prototypes.
