Our initiatives
Our suite of industry-transforming initiatives has been specifically designed to live true to the values, mindsets, and ways of thinking and operating that next-generation innovators represent.
The annual TFF Challenge catalyzes, supports and funds startups that are built by millennials and GenZ entrepreneurs around the world. It has generated thousands of new business ideas, and has launched more than 40 impact-oriented startups in key areas such as nutrition, synthetic biology, vertical farming, precision agriculture, logistics, new foods and appropriate tech for smallholders.
The TFF Academy is a unique immersive educational program focused on empowering the next generation of talents in food and agriculture. Built for next-generation innovators, the intense curriculum is focused on connecting with relevant topics and experts in the industry, building skills and capabilities in design thinking, leadership and entrepreneurship, as well as developing their personal selves through emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and adaptability to change.
The annual TFF Summit brings together interdisciplinary leaders from science, engineering, industry, entrepreneurship, policy and design to explore and co-create ‘what’s next’ – the event has been described as the “SXSW of food & agriculture.”
The TFF Startup Bootcamp supports early-stage startups through an intense business training which provides next-generation leadership skills, business acumen and an understanding of the latest industry trends.
Everything we do is underpinned by our growing TFF Community, which consists of 12,000 brilliant and passionate young minds from 160 countries, 25 regional Next Gen Council members and 250 Ambassadors.
