FCSI’s Start Me Up Innovation Awards final is coming. On Sunday, October 20th at Host Milano 2019 the finalist will fight to be the ultimate winner.
Print2Taste GmbH with its 3d food printing system Procusini 4.0, SCRAEGG GmbH with its SCRAEGG Pro and Tablee with its Tablee system will have the last chance to stand out in a final round of live judging at the FCSI booth (Hall 2, A12-B07).
The three final start-up companies have been selected from a long list of 27 participant, proposing new and innovative products. They will have 10 minutes on stage each (five minutes to present and five of Q&A) in a Dragon’s Den-style format. The judges, consisting of five FCSI Professional member foodservice consultants from across the globe and the design director of Electrolux Professional, will announce the winner at a special presentation during FCSI’s Sponsor Recognition Party at the ‘& Restaurant’ in Fiera Milano.
FCSI’s inaugural 2019 Start Me Up Innovation Awards, sponsored by Electrolux Professional, aimed to showcase new products or concepts launched by independent start-up companies. The Awards were launched in May 2019 to celebrate innovative ideas from start-up businesses with the potential to have a game-changing impact on the commercial foodservice, beverage and laundry industry.
