Food and drink manufacturers who struggle to address the challenges of food innovation are being invited to complete a Food Innovation Survey to help with the journey from idea to commercialisation.
According to Cibus Nexum, independent experts in food contract manufacturing, more than 80% of food(tech) start-ups fail within five years – with only 20% succeeding.
Cibus Nexum has worked closely with food start-ups and scale-ups, helping them refine their roadmaps, optimise production, and overcome scaling hurdles.
The experts are turning to innovators shaping the future of food, to gain deeper insights into the industry’s biggest challenges.
Insights from the survey Matters will help build better support systems, funding opportunities, and networking platforms for food innovators.
By participating, you:
- Contribute to a collective understanding of the real challenges food start-ups face.
- Help shape better industry resources and support networks.
- Get the chance to win a free consultation with our experts (75+ years of food industry experience!).
The survey focuses on the hurdles that food tech start-ups encounter throughout their journey, from ideation to scaling and commercialisation. By examining the challenges that innovators face, Cibus Nexum aims to identify patterns and trends that can inform future support. Whether it’s regulatory compliance, supply chain management, or consumer engagement, the consultants want to hear about your experiences and insights.
