London Springboard for food and drink start-ups

A ‘Springboard for Entrepreneurs’ in the food and drink sector is being held in London on 20th September. Key speakers include the founders of The One Brand, Little Miracles and Windfall Brands along with the Commercial Director of Caffé Nero.

The purpose of the day is for food and beverage start-ups and innovators to gain first hand insights and advice from a range of industry experts, distributors, retailers and advisers.

It will open with a series of short ‘business essentials’ presentations. These will cover a checklist for success, market gap analysis, new product development, choosing manufacturing partners, managing quality, funding, route to market, brand building and international expansion. There will also be time for questions and discussion.

The highly interactive remainder of the day will include a table top marketplace for networking and mentoring, followed by a panel session where industry professionals will take questions and offer advice. There will also be a product showcase which anyone attending can enter.

Those with a food or beverage product can take a table display, test their own branding and offer sampling. They will also be able to make a short presentation to a panel who will select their choice of ‘2016 Brands to Watch’.

Springboard for Entrepreneurs is being organised by specialist consultancy Zenith International in association with natural ingredients provider Döhler. It will be held at the Rocket Complex in London.
