EIT Food, alongside Radar Tech and Civitta, implemented two cycles of the AgriFood Innovation Camp project to support Ukrainian agrifood entrepreneurs and scale successful practices.

The Radar Tech and Civitta team, in partnership with Volia Innovation Kitchen and New Food Summit, and with the support of EIT Food, delivered the AgriFood Innovation Camp programs. The initiative comprised online workshops, solution presentations at the New Food Summit, and post-program mentorship. Participants worked with mentors to refine their products, strengthen their business models, and explore international market entry and funding strategies. The top teams pitched their solutions at the New Food Summit to an expert jury and representatives from leading agricultural corporations, including MHP, Enzym Group, HD-group, and SmartFarming. Following the summit, participants received continued mentorship to further develop their projects.
