Valio is launching an extensive research, development and innovation program called Food 2.0. Its goal is to create a Finnish nature-smart food system in which growth, profitability and added value are built on the basis of sustainable production. The duration of the program is five years. The Food 2.0 project has been granted EUR 10 million for Valio in Business Finland’s challenge competition for leading companies and EUR 20 million can be applied by the ecosystem partners. Now we invite everyone to kick-off the Food 2.0 Ecosystem program with us.
