Let's grow!
As a joint initiative of Rentenbank and TechQuartier, the Growth Alliance, commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), has been promoting the innovative strength of the German agricultural and food industry for the seventh year now.
Through tailored programs, we have so far supported more than 80 start-ups in the development of sustainable business models. This success is largely based on collaboration with future shapers in the AgriFood start-up ecosystem.
With GANS24, we invite the Growth Alliance community for the second time to celebrate the successes of the past year and to look towards the future together.
