We believe that food, design and innovation is one of the most important keys to tackling societal challenges. Food engages people. Food is culture, business, health, climate, and urban living. Food is a way to innovate for a better society as a tool to explore the future of living and breathing.

If you are working with innovation and design connected to food, please join us for an Openlab Meet-up where we hope to connect actors within this sector and identify opportunities for challenge driven change. The event will include inspirational talks by leading food innovators from near and far, a short Design Thinking exercise to help identify challenges within the area, and a chance to meet and mingle within the food innovation and design community in Stockholm.

Welcome!
