Opportunity to participate in a food and waste loss innovation lab June 7th and 8th

Dear HANYC members:

Cornell University, in collaboration with Frog Design and City & State New York, and with support from the Rockefeller Foundation’s Yieldwise program, will hold a Food Loss & Waste Business Innovation Lab that enable teams from participating companies to explore and develop a project or idea that can help lead to a business opportunity. More specifically, attendees will participate in a frogThink Workshop throughout the Lab which will provide the opportunities for participants to learn about and apply new concepts under the guidance and mentorship of Frog Design experts, Cornell SC Johnson College of Business faculty, Rockefeller Foundation Yieldwise program managers, and other food waste and innovation subject matter experts. The Lab promises to provide participants relevant tools that take advantage of cross disciplinary problem-solving techniques. Interspersed among activities will be a series of speakers who will share compelling experiences of business innovation related, but not limited, to food waste/loss challenges.

Space is limited and preferably but hotel F&B departments are likely to benefit by participating particularly if a business project/idea of theirs is the focus of attention during the lab. There will be an online registration page for participating team members details of which will be forwarded to those who are able to participate.

Interested members please email Stacey Cohen at Stacey@hanyc.org
