InVivo Quest

Conceived in 2017, InVivo Quest is a challenge open to agri-food startups with a twofold objective: on the one hand, to identify the startups that will help accelerate the transition of the agri-food sector and, on the other hand, to build an international AgriFood innovation ecosystem.

The 4th edition of InVivo Quest has just launched and the dedicated platform is collecting the first applications for an edition that will take place exclusively in Europe starting in September: https://www.invivoquesteurotour2020-2021.com/

The transformation of the agricultural world is underway, driven in particular by the sometimes devastating effects of climate change but also by the growing need for food and new consumer expectations. Moreover, the current health crisis is forcing us to move even more rapidly towards more resilient, more responsible production and consumption models that are economically profitable.

Innovation has a major role to play, as many solutions have yet to be invented, even though the agri-food sector has started to change and has a strong potential to produce innovative and sustainable solutions at all levels of the food chain.

Some of these solutions already exist and are just waiting to be exploited further: precision farming with its soil expertise, bio-solutions that reduce the use of chemical inputs: other solutions are emerging: the creation of new markets via carbon dioxide sequestration: but also new modes of distribution using digital platforms, networking or blockchaining for better traceability to guarantee food safety and health for consumers and increase farmers'incomes.
