Good Food Makers Program

• Selection – Startups applying to the Call for Application will pass through a selection process based on the criteria defined by the Barilla’s managers involved in the challenges. For each challenge, one startup will be selected to access the eight-week project collaboration.
• Assess & Plan – Once selected for Good Food Makers, each startup will meet the designated Barilla team, will set goals for the upcoming eight weeks, brainstorm solutions, and make an action plan to execute together, including the use of the € 10,000 PoC funding.
• Innovate – Each startup will have Barilla’s pilot plant at their disposal to experiment, prototype and iterate with the Barilla team, based on desired outcomes. They will also access Barilla’s manager invaluable know-how to grow their business even further.
• Partner – Based on the outcome of the PoC, both parties will decide if they want to continue developing a widely marketable solution. Ongoing technical support, co-branded products, first corporate customers, and investment could be opportunities for the selected startup for future collaboration.
