Friends of the Valley | Edition No.3 2022

Switzerland is No.1 again

The results of the European Innovation Scoreboard are in and Switzerland has 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, we're eager to strengthen interaction and exchange between actors. Only by pooling our knowledge and resources can we truly drive innovation faster - and continue to boost Switzerland’s contribution to food system transformation on the global stage.

In this edition, we...
  • explore how Switzerland's is tackling food loss and waste
  • hear how a Swiss researcher spotted a huge untapped opportunity
  • discover the latest news and events from the Swiss food ecosystem.

Let's dive right in.
