Food Futures Company is looking for food and beverage industry business ideas from budding entrepreneurs in regional New South Wales to participate in its Value+d Program – a fully online incubator designed for emerging and early-stage consumer good ideas.

The 10-week program includes weekly virtual group sessions, masterclasses, and one-on-one coaching tailored to participants' businesses. It will explore consumer trends, legal requirements, food labelling, and marketing strategies to help turn product ideas into realities.

Each week is designed to build upon the last, aimed at creating a comprehensive learning experience that addresses every aspect of bringing a product to market.

The program is fully funded by the New South Wales Government Accelerating Regional Innovation Fund, making participation free (valued at $12,500).

Value+d will run from 16 September - 25 November 2024, and is intended for participants from regional NSW who have a consumer product idea in food, beverages, skincare, pet food, or nutraceuticals.

Some of the key advantages of the program will include gaining deep market insight, refining product prototypes, designing a supply chain, connecting with mentors and peers, and planning a 6-12 month roadmap developed to help the business experience sustained success.

Applications close on 6 September, so head to the Value+d page to apply now.
