Digital ERFA: NILLA – cross-regional mobilisation focusing on an innovative food industry

Nilla is a national project that realises the plans presented in the report “A modern innovation system for food” created by Sweden Food Arena, RISE and SISP a couple of years ago. Krinova and Innovatum together with Gotland Science Park, Matlust and Dalarna Science Park have developed and are now launching a model to give prominent innovative companies with an eye on the food industry the best conditions to develop in Sweden.

We are now ready to share our experience of borderless collaboration with the companies at the centre. In addition, we are now opening up for companies in other innovation environments to test the Nilla offer during the autumn, it is primarily aimed at startups and SMEs (also primary producers), but also to idea owners who have not yet incorporated their idea.

At this heritage meeting, the Nilla team will share experiences from:

• Companies we worked with during the year, which testify to the value
• A working process for interregional coordination and case management
• NillAI – our proprietary AI agent that takes care of the first meeting with a potential Nilla case for us and validates that they are in the right target group, or not.
• The development of our offer and now the web where the Nilla offer will now be available.

At the meeting from the Nilla network you will meet:

Krinova: Johanna Gerberich, Hannes van Lunteren, Lena Jasslin, Diana Danilda
Innovatum: Emelie Hennström, Lillemor Lindberg
Science Park Gotland: Daniel Freeman
Dalarna Science Park: David Levrén
Matlust: Daniel Dworetsky, Eva Helen
