“We’re grateful to Forward Fooding for opening doors across the GCC and guiding us through a series of high‑impact engagements at the Dubai Future Forum. Their introductions to both local and senior stakeholders meaningfully amplified our presence and impact.“

“Forward Fooding is one of the leading platform partners globally for food tech and nutrition companies seeking to scale, particularly in the GCC. They strategically connected us with key enterprise customers and secured high-impact opportunities, including featuring us at Gulfood and Dubai Future Forum. Alessio, Max, and the team have a genuine talent for designing and brokering relationships that translate into real business outcomes and measurable impact.”

“Forward Fooding team has been a great supporter in establishing Prefer’s presence in the GCC market. They strategically connected us with key enterprise customers in a region where we had virtually no existing network. Their support included featuring us in The NXT Stage programme at Gulfood and securing our participation in an exclusive tasting at Dubai Future Forum, among other high-impact opportunities. Beyond their market expertise, the team has been exceptionally collaborative—proactive, professional, and genuinely invested in our success.”

‘The FoodTech Data Navigator provides our Open Innovation team with a very powerful tool to easily discover all the latest companies in the FoodTech ecosystem thanks to its detailed taxonomy. It also allows us to deep dive on very specific topics across the whole food supply chain, by clustering the information easily and therefore acquiring a thorough understanding of the market dynamics of the sector. We haven’t been able to do that with any other data platform.’

“Sponsoring the FoodTech 500 really aligns with our commitment to innovation. It’s all about driving transformative change in FoodTech, health, and sustainability. We see it as a great platform for fostering collaboration and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the industry. It really aligns with our vision by shining a spotlight on companies that are driving sustainability, and innovation in the food industry. This partnership is a perfect fit for us, as it reflects our commitment to supporting visionary startups and helping build a brighter, more sustainable, nutritious and delicious future for food.”

‘We were impressed by The FoodTech Data Navigator’s ability to track and deliver up-to-the-minute insights on key players in the Food Tech industry. This is something that was proving very difficult to do manually for us. It has been a game-changer for us and our business, and we can’t recommend it enough.’

“The FoodTech Data Navigator tracks and delivers up-to-the-minute insights on key players in the FoodTech industry, including leading startup companies, international accelerators, investors and even corporate venture arms, something that was proving very difficult for us to do manually as a business. By arming my team with Forward Fooding’s pioneering FoodTech data platform, we are now able to spot and monitor the evolution of industry-leading companies at the touch of a button and stay ahead of the game when it comes to FoodTech trends. It has been a game-changer for us and our business, and we can’t recommend it enough.”

“I had the privilege to collaborate with Forward Fooding as they organised a tailor-made Engagement program for my organization with the aim of discovering the food innovation landscape in the UK and connecting with relevant startups. I would like to highlight that the experience exceeded my expectations – Alessio and his team managed to provide a unique point of view on innovative business models and startup methodologies which made me challenge my understanding of the state of innovation in the food and drink industry. In the future, I would definitely go back to Forward Fooding to arrange similar activities in this field.”

‘ForwardFooding has been a great partner in identifying exciting startups for the University of Cambridge IfM Open Innovation Forum Pitching Event in Belfast and many others. The FoodTech 500 is an excellent window on activity in this exciting space.’

‘I think The FoodTech Data Navigator has the potential to become a leading platform for the young and rapidly evolving Food and AgriTech ecosystem. It is a great source of market intelligence and useful to identify up-and-coming companies and trends.’
