Nurturing the Food Startup Economy was hosted in-person and also live-streamed from The Grove at Western Fair District on April 28, 2022.

The event featured presentations from startups in the agri-food industry based at The Grove who have partnered with Fanshawe College's Centre for Research & Innovation (CRI) on research & development projects to take their businesses to exciting growth opportunities. 

The audience heard about what startups are doing to overcome challenges in the industry, toured the expanding facilities at The Grove, and learned more about how partnerships across the London region are removing barriers for small-medium sized enterprises.
