ProgrammesThe EIT (European institute of innovation and technology) Food's Proof of Concept co-financing instrument provides financial support for innovative projects in the food sector. The funding is designed for researchers and start-ups that are looking to advance their original ideas and foster partnerships.
EIT Food will provide up to €100,000 in grant funding, covering 100% of the project costs for successful applications. EIT Food will then establish a service agreement with your corporate client, invoicing them for 60% of the project costs (up to €60,000). The cut-off date is at each last day of the month with the final deadline on the 30th of November.

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
