How to Pivot Canada’s Food System
Agri-food is on the cusp of major change: this session will look at what’s required for Canada to lead. How can we build a wave of fast growing startups in the food industry? How do we take ideas from the lab, to launching a company and landing a first customer, to scaling into global markets? And do so with a focus on sustainability and building a circular economy.
