Introduction

Knowledge must be accessible in order to spark innovation. Food Valley knows this like no one else. That’s why we see it as our key task to improve the knowledge infrastructure and to foster economic development.

Renowned for food expertise
Food Valley is headquartered in Wageningen, at the heart of food country and the very source of the world’s most respected food expertise. The driving force, Wageningen University and Research Center, is surrounded by many other leading public and private research institutes. We are not just on their doorstep.... We also know them. And what’s more important: entrepreneurs get to know them too, via our various meeting forums.

Questions and answers
On a smaller scale, we also ensure that specific questions are met with specific answers. Innovation Link and innovation meetings are key tools for achieving this. We’re mainly driven by demand. Your questions spur us into action. But when we  see new opportunities ourselves we don’t hesitate to explore them. We partner relevant researchers with entrepreneurs to translate our ideas into practice. This is done either one-to-one or in a brainstorming session.

Knowledge focus
Competitiveness requires cutting edge technology. Hence our focus on knowledge. We use the knowledge we have, acquire that which we need, and apply the knowledge you seek to grow your business. Coupled with know-how, knowledge truly is power!
