One of the other winners developed an irrigation support system, and there is also a company that makes edible cups to reduce waste.
The winners were selected in part based on the importance of the problem they were trying to solve
In addition, the uniqueness of the products and services, the market entry strategy or the opportunities inherent in the developments were also taken into account. The winners receive personalized consulting support, receive a 10,000-euro grant for additional services, and can appear on international forums.
The EBRD justified the announcement with climate change and population explosion. In 2050, there will be 9.6 billion people on Earth, so solutions to the difficulties of food supply systems must be found.
