As a FoodTech Data Intelligence and Corporate Startup Collaboration platform, we know a fair few folks in FoodTech.
We have offices in London, Rome and a satellite office in San Francisco, a network of FoodTech partners that spans the globe, and a global map of FoodTech startups and accelerators, The FoodTech Data Navigator, as part of our data intelligence platform.
But as the FoodTech industry is predicted to hit $250 billion by 2022 (source: Forbes); even we got curious.
Who are ALL these players who are pioneering the future of food?
What categories of FoodTech are they operating in?
How much money are they raising & who is backing them?
Who are the true ones to watch who will lead the market growth and ensure that this industry creates a true food revolution?
The FoodTech 500
With these questions in mind, the idea of The FoodTech 500 slowly evolved within the Forward Fooding team over the summer, landing us right where we are today.
At the start of September we launched our global search to find the world’s first FoodTech 500, and with 150+ company entries in a little over a week and climbing steadily; we’re excited to see who makes it into the top of the list!
Inspired by the Fortune 500, The FoodTech 500 will list and rank the top movers and shakers in FoodTech based on funding, business size, sustainability, and their digital footprint, bringing you the top businesses, founders and innovators in this new and dynamic industry.
In a recent interview, Forward Fooding founder Alessio D'Antino shared
“We’re thrilled to launch the FoodTech 500 today. Our mission is to use technology and data to map and support the growing FoodTech ecosystem. The FoodTech 500 provides an exciting new opportunity for top innovators and disrupters to showcase their work and elevate the profile of the entire FoodTech industry. We’re excited to uncover the top FoodTech startups and scale-ups globally, those who are transforming food as we know it and bring them the recognition that their pioneering work deserves.”
