It’s time to put a face to the name…
We asked our FoodTech 500 top-runners to give us a bit of insight into how they started out as a company and their thoughts on the role of technology in Food innovation. Meet Tobias and Roman, the power-duo behind Farmy, an online marketplace for regional and organic products in Switzerland. Let’s see what they had to say.
So tell us a little bit more about you! Where did the idea for your FoodTech company come from?
Tobias and Roman: We followed our passion and roots.
How is tech central to your business?
Tobias and Roman: Tech enables us to disrupt the way we are eating and getting our weekly groceries. Farmy is a FoodTech company in every way.
Why do you think it’s important to see the food industry embrace tech?
Tobias and Roman: Because we need to find new ways to design the whole supply chain of groceries in a more sustainable manner. Tech can contribute to this tremendously.
