What is the ProVeg Incubator?
The ProVeg Incubator is a global food accelerator programme shaping the future of food through disruptive plant-based and cell-based food solutions. As part of ProVeg International, we are committed to the 50by40 mission to reduce global animal consumption by 50% by the year 2040. We support startups that aim to transform global food culture with tools to create, collaborate, grow, and scale ideas that replace traditional animal-based foods. Located in the global vegan capital of Berlin, which is also one of the fastest-growing startup hubs in the world, our international programme creates an inspiring environment for emerging entrepreneurs to become future leaders in the market for plant-based and cell-based foods.
Why the ProVeg Incubator?
We are the first Incubator programme in the world to exclusively support plant-based and cell-based food startups. As part of ProVeg International, a leading food-awareness organisation, we are a mission-driven programme devoted to building a sustainable food system. Together with ProVeg International, we bring together equally mission-driven founders to create a synergistic environment and exchange of ideas. Our unique position connects founders to our vibrant ecosystem of investors, retailers, public institutions, and non-profit organisations that are ready to transform the innovative ideas from our Incubator into successful businesses.
