The goal of the Food Valley organization is to stimulate the power of innovation in the Dutch agrifood cluster by bringing together market-driven entrepreneurship and knowledge. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the competitive position of Dutch businesses by making optimal use of the currently available high-quality knowledge infrastructure. There are many stakeholders that are involved in the interplay between the business community, knowledge workers and government parties. Food Valley plays an important role in this interaction.

The Food Valley organization has its headquarters in the city of Wageningen which is in the center of a region with an enormous potential of food knowledge. From here the Food Valley organization facilitates the actualization of high-quality, innovative ideas coupled with the appropriate available offering of services. Here are a few examples:

  The Food Valley Innovation Link gives SME-business owners the help
   necessary to successfully launch innovative projects by linking them with
   relevant knowledge-network parties
  Through theme clusters Food Valley is also involved with project
   development. Food Valley solicits and develops project ideas,
   approaches potential project partners, and researches subsidy
   possibilities.

  The Food Valley organization helps companies become established in
    the Food Valley region.
  A growing number of companies are investing in the Food Valley
   Society, an initiative of the Food Valley organization. The Society plays an
   important role in the content and direction of the activities of the
   organization by providing input as to current, content-driven issues. One
   of the methods used is the organizing of networking and theme
   gatherings for and by the members of the Society. There are currently
   over 70 companies that are associated with the Food Valley Society.

In Food Valley we are convinced that genomics is one of the driving forces of future innovation in the agrifood sector. The topics addressed at Genomics in Business are therefore highly relevant for the companies we represent. Moreover, the excellent speakers guarantee a successful event of high quality.
We therefore happy to participate as a sponsor in the conference.
