The Dutch innovation ecosystem is renowned for its vibrant talent, financial opportunities, and strong global reputation. With a legacy of collaboration between industry and knowledge institutes, it’s the perfect environment for transformative change. In 2022, the founding members of Next Food Collective—a powerful alliance of agro-food cooperatives, ingredient companies, multinationals, tech firms, universities, and a leading bank—joined forces with a bold vision: to revolutionize the agri-food system.
They saw the need for a new approach to public-private collaboration to tackle the urgent challenges of creating healthier and more sustainable food systems. By merging TiFN, CCC, PCC, and SFI, the Collective has reduced fragmentation, strengthened cooperation, and amplified its impact to drive meaningful change.
