The annual New Food Summit took place in Kiev – the largest Galuzia event, an event on the Maidan that brought together all representatives of the food and processing industry, food startups and investors, researchers and experts.
“Ukraine can immediately become a global agricultural hub and processing center for the production of new, productive, high-margin and competitive products. For whom the sector is subject to all changes of mind.
I look at several growth points – innovations in agricultural technologies, creation of new products in Agri-FoodTech, exports, globalization, digital technologies in grub production. The introduction of such strategies can coincide with the growing growth of Ukrainian FoodTech and Ukrainian AgriFood. Will our country become a global entrant in the market?“- this is the message from the general partner of the New Food Summit Boris Shestopalov, scientific leader of the HD-group and GFSGROUP, ideologist of the VOLIA ecosystem.
Following the words of Boris Shestopalov, the path to the transformation of the Ukrainian food industry into foodtech depends on the individual cluster model.
“Examples for us could be the Netherlands and Israel, which, despite the small territory involved in agro-growing, ensure a high share of GDP through the export of grub products with added value. The small land resources of these regions have become their driver, and our boundless black soil has become their shepherd.“, – said the expert.
According to Boris Shestopalov, Ukraine on its territory can build excellent industrial parks that include lower stakeholders – research and development centers, R&D laboratories, machine-building enterprises, Engineering companies , manufacturing enterprises that begin with raw material and end with finished goods. product. Transport and warehouse companies will be the ultimate lance.
“We create a new concept in principle, where the country can be written as if written by the aerospace complex. I changed my mind to make this system work, and the synergy will make the business stronger with that power. In my opinion, the role of the country may include support for foodtech startups, both in the form of direct guarantees and preferential lending, and in providing the necessary preferences for the development of industrial facilities and parks of food. This is an example of the best light practice practiced for apologetic countries.
The future of Ukrainian foodtech is a collection of new industrial Maidans, including existing enterprises. There are lancets made of sweet milk mixture, created by a wide range of entrepreneurs, obtained from advanced technologies and ingredients. Today, new and unique packaging solutions and innovative food products can be created in these markets, matching the demands of the inhabitants and the principles of steel construction and the green transition. It is impossible to say that it is not for a time. Our approach to foodtech can be the engine of our innovation and development, a new vector of the national economy. This will be another national idea after our Victory“, – meaning Boris Shestopalov.
