Acceleration Program: Baking the future
Baking The Future was launched for the first time in 2019, in collaboration with Eatable Adventures, in the form of a Challenge to finding the most innovative Spanish startups in the bakery sector. In 2021 Europastry raises the challenge and turns Baking The Future into an international accelerator programme. Three international startups were selected. Among the three selected startups, the Danish startup Agrain, which develops flour produced from brewery waste and which quickly became a success story with a great reception in Europastry’s B2C e-commerce channel, stands out.
“Revolutionary ideas cannot remain just that; they have to be taken to the market. Baking the Future is a program that will last over time; it is fundamental for the sector to generate new concepts and rely on open innovation.”– Ana Thielen, R&D Marketing Manager Europastry
