An expo which helps startups develop their business ideas will be held next month in Victoria.

The Business of Food Expo will be held on Monday 5 March in Kingston City Hall in Moorabbin, Victoria.

The expo is aimed at businesses at every stage, from startup to expanding business, and everything in-between.

It offers the chance to connect with mentors who encourage innovation in product development.

The expo is the brainchild of Jane Del Rosso of My Other Kitchen, and co-hosted by Bar & Restaurant Consultants and the City of Kingston.

The Business of Food Expo can help with anything from packaging through to financing and procuring equipment.

A key event of the Business of Food Expo is the networking lunch, provided by Handcraft Catering.

Visitors can chat with exhibitors and sponsors, and take part in two Q&A panel discussions, with one panel on products, and the other on the future of hospitality.
