Spud’s Thoughts:

If you are particularly interested in game-changing innovations for the agriculture and food industry – this is an excellent competition to participate in. This is a great chance to not only connect with others who care about a similar cause, but have a likely chance to win funding and a trip to the Summit (which has been held in Zurich and Lisbon in past years).
