The “Free From Food Amsterdam - Startup Investor Pitch Lounge" is co-produced by Pitch Lounge, Marketing Strategiser, Free From Food & Ingredients, and Expo Business Communications.
The Expo is taking place on 21-22 November 2023 based at RAI Convention Centre Amsterdam with the "Startup Investor Pitch Lounge" on Wednesday, 22nd November (2.30-4PM CET) at the Supplier & Insights Theatre.
Sponsor our event to receive significant online exposure, in-person panelist & speaker slots, and introduction to exciting F&B startup business and investment opportunities. Gold and Silver sponsors secure a 10-min speaker slot, and Bronze sponsors still receive the digital and in-event promotional package. See below for details.

Fundraising startups will present live to local and international investors and be showcased online to community members of all the event partners, including your company. We can also connect sponsors with the applying and shortlisted startups, and involve you in the shortlisting process if you so wish. We are receiving high interest from quality startups and aim to shortlist the best eight.
​
If you also wish to secure exposure as a pitch event panelist and have the opportunity to ask the startups questions live during the pitch event in a short Q&A round immediately following each pitch, then apply to be a panelist (or simply express interest on the adjacent form to the right).
