Food production during the COVID-19 epidemic - new opportunities?

Service Category:

Biotechnology

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on food production, sales, distribution and consumption. Under the banner EIT Food and in collaboration with Matís, grants are now being offered for projects to respond to the effects of the epidemic on food production and consumer behavior.

The projects must be effective in the form of marketable products or services this year or early next year and are linked to new supply chains within the food sector, changing consumer behavior, increased food security or improved nutrition.

Matís is looking for Icelandic companies that could take advantage of this opportunity and have an excellent idea (s) for marketable products or services to respond to the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic. Are you interested or have an idea for such a product or service?

If so, contact Guðmundur Stefánsson (gst@matis.is) or Sæmund Sveinsson (saemundurs@matis.is) for more information on Wednesday, May 20th.
