Open Innovation

We bring innovation and inspiration to your company through our corporate partnerships for open innovation.

In the food revolution, many companies want to open up to innovation and partners from outside their organization. A partnership with KitchenTown helps facilitate this new openness professionally and successfully. With our extensive startup network in Europe and the USA and the strong trust in the KitchenTown brand, we ensure better startup matches for your company both quantitatively and qualitatively. 

What sets us apart from other scouting providers? As experts in the food value chain, we always work early on based on concrete use cases, making a potential collaboration crystal clear from the start. This significantly increases the likelihood of a successful cooperation. We align milestones as early as possible to prevent differing expectations during the process. This principle applies whether your company is seeking startup investments, building its own accelerator, or engaging in R&D or sales collaborations.
