Mondelēz International’s innovation and venture hub, SnackFutures has announced that nine start-ups have been selected to participate in its third cohort of CoLab.
The start-up engagement programme launched in 2021, this year, CoLab focused on start-ups taking a unique approach to ‘making snacks delicious’ to strengthen Mondelēz International’s core businesses, as well as offering potential to explore new categories.
Participants of CoLab receive a 12-week curriculum of virtual and hands-on sessions, networking opportunities and a $20,000 grant.
‘Snack Innovation’
“SnackFutures’ focus is to curate a portfolio of disruptive brands that can give Mondelēz International first-mover advantage on snack innovation, get us even closer to the consumer, and accelerate our financial, reputational, and cultural growth,” said Jackie Haney, head of CoLab.
