F&B Business Accelerator has provided us with the highest quality networking resource so far. We have met both people with the same values and ambitions as us, as well as partners with whom we have been working since we met them.

The community we entered has provided us especially with encouragement and validation, along with the informations and advices received during the workshops. Being still at the beginning of the road, it was exactly what we needed so that we could take a few more steps towards our growth.

Without the accelerator, it would probably have taken us a few months to meet the same key people in the industry and at least a year and many rejections to have the chance to pitch in front of investors and receive feedback from them.

The accelerator is very well structured, it’s built to meet the needs of any business project, concept or new idea. For a startup, most development and implementation steps are very challenging and growing the business is hard work. Mentoring, brainstorming and constant feedback sessions manage to shine a light on those problems that any team has. The networking part is very varied and it’s very easy to create contacts and collaborations with the other participants. The mentors, through their experiences and things they share with us, manage to bring that added value and incentive that startups need to persevere.

There were very interesting and particularly useful sessions due to the fact that I had the opportunity to observe different perspectives and approaches. The accelerator exceeded my expectations and I gladly recommend it to anyone. The guests’ presentations were full of information, but I am glad that my personal agenda has grown considerably and I have contacts from many fields. Thank you! I look forward to the next editions

F&B Business Accelerator is an X-ray as accurate as possible of the current landscape in the field, an experience that shows you the system, challenges and opportunities. The workshops and discussions are applied to real cases, and we, the students, receive directly applicable solutions, insights, big picture, 1 on 1 support, as well as entering a warm, supportive and human-centered community. Participating in the accelerator clarified for me the next steps towards the development of our farm and, since the end of the program, coincidence or not (I think not), the numbers look much better.

We had the opportunity to receive feedback from some impressive names in the HoReCa industry before we launched our product.

As a result, we were able to perfect the concept in much less time and with much less investment. What was more valuable was the sheer volume of practical information received from our mentors, as well as their willingness to assist us on our entrepreneurial journey. The project was well-organized and focused on all stages of a business, preparing us for real-world situations!

I am super happy because I had the opportunity to take part in the Horeca Business Accelerator. I was able to focus on what was truly important: knowledge and networking.

Last but not least, we received significant financial assistance for business digitization.

We were specifically assisted in purchasing an ERP solution to help us accurately manage the entire manufacturing process.

This translates into an improvement in the quality of our products.
