Conscious of the threat our world is facing with regards to food and water security, we all need to act together to meet the food needs of a rapidly growing population in the face of climate change, accelerated urbanization, and the changing dietary preferences of the next generation. With my 2 business partners in India and NL, whom I studied with & worked many years in Asia on operations and M&A, we have decided to take a hands-on approach to scale up the growth of SMEs (management, strategy, M&A, operations, and business development) in the future of food. Our partnerships focus on innovation and impact by engaging & investing in #Foodtech, #Agtech,#Hospitality, #Sustainability and #Impact.Emerging technologies offer new opportunities to build world-class companies that can help us ensure the tasty, healthy and widely available food of the future. By leveraging innovations - in alternative ingredients, algae, food retail tech and controlled environment agriculture -we can create more efficient, sustainable, nutritious food systems.As entrepreneurs in residence, @Boostable, we prioritize scalable, sustainable, and technological innovation to drive long-lasting and meaningful change. By adapting companies to endure for a better future, we can create a more resilient and efficient food system that meets the needs of both people and the planet. Together @Boostable, we want to provide solutions that go far beyond investment, solutions that leverage our 60+ years of management experience, solutions that build a bridgebetween Europe and Asia seeking scalable changes.We want to boost entrepreneurs.
