This year MEDFEL, which takes place from 24 to 26 April in Perpignan, France, will organise the challenge FEL’INNOV. The challenge focuses on innovation within the fruit and vegetable industry and wants to encourage a good connection between demand and supply regarding innovative solutions.
Every candidate may pitch his or her idea during five minutes. The challenge will be displayed on a large television at the centre of MEDFEL. The jury consists of scientists and experts within the fruit and vegetable industry.
There are two different challenges in which you can participate. First, there’s a challenge that concerns the packaging of consumer products. Attention will be payed to new contexts in which products are consumed, new forms of processing and new distribution models. This challenge takes place on Wednesday the 25th of April from 09:45 to 11:15. You can sign up here.
The second challenge concerns everything from the parcel to the station: production, management tools, steering, packing stations, sorting and calibration and also the supply chain, traceability and conservation. You can sign up here.
The winner is offered the possibility to present his or her idea all day long to the press and other interested parties on the day of the challenge. A special room has been reserved. The price consists of a free stand for MEDFEL 2019, free mentions on the programme of MEDFEL 2018 and on the website of the event and a push mailing that will be sent to all visitors. Every candidate receives the professionally edited pitch video which can be used for promotional purposes.
After having signed up for the challenge, we will provide all the necessary information to prepare your pitch.
