EIT Food is supported by EIT, an independent body of the European Union.
The project, titled: “Development of Seed Embedding Technology for Open Field Vegetable Cultivation Enabling Transition to Regenerative Agriculture (vSET)”, is covered by a total project budget of €1.5 million, and backed by our loyal and committed investors Brightlands Venture Partners and LIOF.
We are honored to collaborate with a powerful European consortium of partners:
