Expert session: Unlock subsidies for your food brand with InnoVein
Subsidies are often overlooked by food founders, not because they don’t qualify, but because navigating the landscape takes time and specialist knowledge. In this session, InnoVein cuts through the complexity and shows you exactly what’s available for your business, and how to claim it.
The expert
For this session we welcome Ivan and colleagues from InnoVein, a specialist subsidy consultancy with years of experience in innovative sectors including food, health, textiles, and cosmetics. They work on regional, national, and European level and take the full process off your plate; from identifying opportunities to submitting applications and managing compliance.
Many Kitchen Republic members have already worked with InnoVein and successfully secured funding for product development, sustainability initiatives, and team training, such as Goodoo, Max&Bien, Mamaschai, Favamole, Good Jamu, Protaste, Van Eigen Deeg, Donny Craves, Teabar and LÄCKER.
About the session
We start with a clear overview: what subsidies exist for food businesses, what are they actually worth, and how do you know if you qualify? InnoVein will walk through the most relevant schemes; from R&D tax relief and innovation grants to funding for training your team or scaling through partnerships.
InnoVein knows the food sector and will focus on what’s genuinely relevant for brands like yours, whether you’re developing a new product, investing in sustainability, growing internationally, or building your team.
After the lunch break, there’s time for 1-on-1 sessions where you can sit down with an InnoVein expert and talk through your own situation.
Who is this for?
Food founders at any stage, whether you’re just getting started or already scaling. This session is for you if you recognise any of these situations:
– You’re investing in product development, new processes, or sustainability, but haven’t looked into what subsidies might apply.
– You’ve heard about WBSO or innovation grants but aren’t sure if your business qualifies.
– You’re collaborating with a partner on something new and want to know whether that work could be funded.
– You’re growing your team and want to invest in training, but budget is tight.
