The FoodHub Lisbon is a place for Food entrepreneurs, influencers, NGOs, governmental & intergovernmental agencies and corporates to gather under one roof. We find, help, incubate and accelerate the latest innovations in FoodTech.

Executive Summary

Portugal is a country where food is an integral part of the culture and every day interactions. Anywhere you go you will find streets lined with restaurants, food trucks, food stands and even vendors on the beach selling pastries. Food is all around us, yet these entrepreneurs have to struggle to get their businesses started. The FoodTech Ecosystem is scattered in Portugal.

FoodTech is any innovation which happens in the post-harvest stage, including food processing, packaging, supply chain, delivery services, composting and much more. We have a lot of innovation happening in Portugal within FoodTech, however there is no central point or dedicated help for these entrepreneurs. The FoodHub gathers all these StartUps, Freelancers and NGOs under one roof creating a collaborative and supportive community. We connect them to relevant industry players and run incubation as well as acceleration programs to provide them with the relevant mentoring which they need.

The FoodHub aims to foster collaboration, we will have a separate floor with fixed offices for profitable social enterprises to enable them to collaborate more easily. The enterprises are selected on the value they are able to contribute to the ecosystem as well as ensuring that they get an equal amount of value out of it.

We will be piloting a space with ImpactHub after which we will be starting our above mentioned activities.
