And sometimes, one connection is all it takes to spark real change."

Let's grow!
As a joint initiative of Rentenbank and TechQuartier, the Growth Alliance, on behalf of 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.
Through tailored programs, we have been able to support more than 80 startups in developing sustainable business models. This success is largely based on collaboration with future shapers in the AgriFood start-up ecosystem.
