We've just wrapped up our third Venture Creator programme – part of the Future Industries Demonstrator from SHIFT – during which we supported companies operating in the food space to acknowledge real problems East London citizens face. 💬 Our Innovation Associate, Rose Fitzgerald, said: "Sustainable innovation is important to Plexal but also to me personally. In terms of our food challenge with SHIFT, we recognise that food shapes the health of our communities and planet. "Rising food insecurity and the cost-of-living crisis are deepening inequality in London and globally. By improving access to healthy and sustainable food, fostering inclusion and reducing diet-related inequalities, we can enhance London’s food sovereignty and create a long-term shift in food culture in line with the strategic objectives of the national food strategy. "Having worked with the leaders of five inspiring companies that formed our Venture Creator cohort over the past eight weeks, I'm excited to see where their work will lead them to next and look forward to seeing the positive impacts their businesses will have on the communities and environment of London." Congratulations to Carib Eats, East London Mushroom Collective, Made Sweetly, SAGES and Sitopia Farm on your successful programme completion! 👏 Russell Gundry | Tom Horner | Ali K. | Michael Haskamp (何敏行) | Courtney Plumb | Alicia Graham, PhD | Chloe Dunnett | #VentureBuild | #Sustainability | #FoodBusiness | #Foodtech | #CostOfLiving | #Innovation | #Collaboration
