ABOUT THE “CAPITAL CONNECT” EVENT
Capital Connect is the exclusive side-event at Food Tech Congress designed for the industry’s most ambitious entrepreneurs and forward-looking investors. It’s your access point to strategic 1:1 meetings, qualified dealflow, and conversations that catalyze growth.
This is not a pitch stage or a panel – it’s a focused, private matchmaking experience. If you’re raising capital, deploying funds, or exploring partnerships in food tech, this is where the real conversations begin.
