Up to 50 women entrepreneurs from countries with modest to moderate innovation rates have taken part in a 6-month-long mentoring programme for successful women entrepreneurs in agrifood, which is run as a part of the Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS). These women, from Czech Republic, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Turkey, have been able to enhance their entrepreneurial skills thanks to experienced mentors, engaging educational materials on a dedicated online platform and the exchange of good practices among other female participants.
In each country, 10 female-led agrifood startups competed for the two jury prizes of €10,000, and €5,000. The jury comprised of food professionals, academics and investors, selected the startups that have the biggest potential to transform our agriculture and food system making it healthier, more sustainable and more trusted. An important part of the evaluation was also the analysis of the progress made by female entrepreneurs throughout the intensive mentoring, when they were able to develop their products and services in agrifood and work on the highly-valued pitching presentations.
