An acceleration programme managed by EIT Food on the management of water resources will take place at the Isola Catania Hub.

🏁 The Hub is looking for 10 innovative and visionary startups from across Europe that are eager to join this intensive programme, which will include workshops delivered by EIT Food and the Hub team, tailored mentoring, technology validation activities, and networking sessions with leading agri‑food corporates and investors.

💸 The programme is completely free of charge for selected startups and will be delivered in a hybrid format, with two to three in‑person sessions in Catania.

 In addition, participating startups will benefit from:

• A grant of up to €50,000 for technology validation: non‑dilutive funding to refine your technology and product roadmap.

• Direct access to corporates: a fast‑track opportunity to present your solution and launch pilot projects with leading agri‑food companies.

• A pan‑European innovation network: immediate connection to a wide network of European investors and sector‑specific mentors.

• Travel reimbursement of up to €3,000 to cover costs for key networking and sector‑specific events across Europe.

📅 The application deadline is fast approaching – 8 April – with a possible extension.
