Niagara College’s Canadian Food & Wine Institute (CFWI) Innovation Centre will have a strong presence at the food entrepreneur competition happening at SIAL Canada’s largest North American food event April 30 – May 2 in Toronto.
The Food Scale-Up’s Pitch Competition, by SIAL Canada, a leading name in the agri-food industry, offers eligible food entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their food product, or new technology related to the food manufacturing industry, to an expert jury. Food start-ups also receive one-on-one access to industry experts on business development, PR, branding, consumer trends and more.
Research & Innovation’s senior food scientist, Dr. Ana Cristina Vega Lugo, will be part of the jury for the Food Scale-Up Pitch event, joining other industry leaders, retailers and technical advisors, and investors, media and other entrepreneurs from the food industry.
The CFWI Innovation Centre will also be offering a 20-hour consultation by its experts as a major prize to the winner.
Other prizes include international recognition through SIAL Canada and the global network to which it belongs, and a complimentary booth at SIAL Canada 2020.
