Can innovation in foodtech help Europe to build geopolitical resilience?
As geopolitical tensions, climate shocks, and supply chain disruptions reshape global power dynamics, food has become a matter of sovereignty, not just sustainability. This panel explores whether foodtech innovation can strengthen Europe’s resilience and reduce strategic dependencies in an increasingly fragmented world.
This event gives the foodtech and startup ecosystem a much-needed macro lens, reframing innovation not just as a market opportunity but as a strategic lever for Europe’s resilience, sovereignty, and long-term geopolitical stability.
This event is prepared in cooperation with Food Hack.
In the Demo Table zone you will discover various products, technologies and projects being presented by the founders or startup-representatives.
In the Info Table zone you will find out about projects, organisations and ideas.

However remember, this is NO HARD SALES zone.
Unwind, connect, and vibe to the rhythm! This lively session blends casual networking with great music, offering the perfect atmosphere to meet fellow innovators, exchange ideas, and forge new collaborations. Grab a drink, enjoy the beats, and build meaningful connections in a relaxed, energetic setting.
What if longevity wasn’t about strict diets, but about how well your body adapts? In this session, Dr. Maya Fehling—longevity physician, entrepreneur, and Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer of The Longevity Practice—explores the science behind metabolic flexibility and the critical role of protein intake in extending healthspan.
Drawing from her experience in global health, preventive medicine, and women’s health innovation, she will share practical insights on how personalized, evidence-based approaches can help optimize long-term wellbeing. With a special lens on gender-specific health and life stages such as perimenopause and menopause, this session offers a fresh perspective on sustainable, adaptive health strategies beyond one-size-fits-all diets.
In these Mentor Hours, you'll get direct, honest input from Michelle Calios, founder of KoRo, advisor for food companies and angel investor.
Bring your questions on:
- Procurement & supplier relationships: How to find, negotiate with and build long-term partnerships with suppliers
- Supply Chain: How to build a resilient and scalable supply chain from early stage onwards
- Founder topics: Delegation, leadership, decision-making under uncertainty
No pitch, no filters just an open conversation about what's really going on in your business.
As geopolitical tensions, climate shocks, and supply chain disruptions reshape global power dynamics, food has become a matter of sovereignty, not just sustainability. This panel explores whether foodtech innovation can strengthen Europe’s resilience and reduce strategic dependencies in an increasingly fragmented world.
A panel discussion will focus on exploring this question, offering point of views of 4 different kind of speakers: (geo)-political and policy, policy/EU voice, Foodtech start-up, Agtech/ Foodtech investor. The panel will be moderated by Host of the bioCircular Loop podcast and will bring a macro-perspective.
Organized in cooperation with FoodHack.
