New edition spring 2025: BL.INC Masterclass Food & Nutrition

Because of the success of the BL.INC Masterclass Food & Nutrition, we are launching a new edition in spring 2025!

You have an idea for a new food product. That could be a new healthy food product or a customized food product, for example for the elderly. Or you want to make a new food product from waste streams. Very nice and valuable initiatives.

How to proceed?

You are wondering what should be good next steps to take your product to market. You have numerous questions:

• May I claim that my product is healthy?
• How can I protect my product?
• How do I go from prototype to production?
• What laws and regulations must I comply with?
• How do I test my product in the market?

Who can help you with this?

Rabobank, Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo and LIOF are organizing a new edition of the Food & Nutrition Masterclass in Spring 2025 from the BL.INC program. In five sessions we will help provide answers to your questions and help you move forward. We offer you the knowledge you need, access to an extensive and strong network and opportunities for financial support.

SMEs from the province of Limburg have the opportunity through LIOF to claim a 75% reimbursement of the costs for this master class session through the Collective Project of the program LimburgToekomstbestendig. LIOF wants to stimulate SMEs in Limburg to innovate products, services, processes and/or business models within the social issues 'smart, sustainable and healthy'. Contact us to discuss the possibilities.

A separate application for this should be submitted to LIOF by December 4 or January 15 at the latest.
