Valley Insiders | Edition No.3 2022

Switzerland is No.1 again.

The results of the European Innovation Scoreboard are in and Switzerland has once again come out on top, with a performance at 142.4% of the EU average. While this news is heartening, we're not resting on our laurels. As our ecosystem continues to grow, interaction and exchange between actors will become increasingly important. Only by pooling our knowledge and resources can we truly drive innovation faster - and boost Switzerland’s contribution to food system transformation on the global stage.

In this edition of Valley Insiders, we...
  • explore Valley partners' needs & leads
  • meet our two new Steering Committee members and
  • check out the latest news and events from the Swiss food ecosystem.

Let's dive right in.

Christina Senn-Jakobsen
