Will invite startups to shine 

UMAMI Arena wants to give value to the creators of the future and therefore invite startups with productss, equipment and solutions targeting the food and beverage industry.

Future meets present

Our initiative will bring startup companies together and give them the opportunity to meet both the professional market and investors. Here we gather entrepreneurs in a common area under the “umbrella” Startups. With 25,600 visitors, which UMAMI Arena can boast from the previous event in 2023, it is well suited for many exciting meetings during the fair days in March 2025, says Engelberg.

The purpose is to make visible all the exciting work that is taking place, which will help prepare the industry and sector for the future. Considering that we for the future will need new technology and new solutions to create sustainable businesses that also help creating new jobs. – Our invitation goes to all startups that offer products or solutions within e.g. production and packaging, technology, digital solutions, equipment and design, explains Torill.

Cross network and knowledge sharing

Engelberg points out that the new venture will have a win-win effect in several areas. It will be a good networking arena, but also a place to exchange experiences and get to know each other’s ideas and concepts. 

– In addition, you meet the entire market, the industry, possible collaboration partners, chain managers and potential investors. A great value of participating in the UMAMI Arena is that you get to test your ideas in a larger context. Do you want to succeed with a startup, you have to create value. UMAMI is an arena to be seen, and not least make new contacts. That’s why we invite all new startups to book space now, adds Engelberg. 

A nice entry ticket

Starting a business is both time-consuming and expensive. For that reason, UMAMI Arena has settled on a reasonable price level for those who want a place in the startup area.
