Pitch & Pack will turn the spotlight onto Austrian startups and direct marketers from the food segment. Under the motto “Value Creation Austria – Future Domestic Packaging”, the event on 1st June promises exciting content related to the journey of a product from raw material to shelf.

Initiated by Vetroline and the Agro Innovation Lab, Pitch & Pack is aimed at all Austrian food startups and direct marketers. The journey from the idea to the finished product is often very long and rocky and Pitch & Pack and its partners are seeking to provide a solution for all those seeking a shortcut to the product launch and onto the shelf.

As Austria has so much to offer in the ABC of product development, the event will shed light on the entire value chain, with a focus on sustainability and in an exclusive atmosphere made possible by the maximum of 20 participants. The short, stimulating keynote speeches and personal 1:1 speed dating will enable startups and direct marketers to make important contacts and obtain ideas for every step of the development process.

Participants will benefit from meetings with a range of packaging companies, food retailers and recycling specialists but will also learn about the world of food marketing and food business consulting.

And they will of course also enjoy a brief opportunity to make the audience hungry or thirsty for their product and have the chance to win prizes worth € 8,000 for the best pitch.

All Austrian food startups and Austria-based direct food marketers, who are in the process of launching their product or keen to reinvent themselves, are eligible to apply. More information is available here and the deadline for applications is 30th April 2021.
