LIVERNESS Corporation, in collaboration with Kochi Prefecture, will hold the \"Kochi Prefecture x Hyperdisciplinary Society Food Tech Forum\" (at Chiyori Machi Terrace Chiyoterra Hall *Online participation is available) on Friday, August 28, 2020, to generate the seeds of new food-related businesses.<\/p>\n
As part of the \"FY 2020 Kochi Prefecture Human Resource Development Project for New Business Creation,\" this forum aims to bring startup companies and researchers with advanced technological seeds to Kochi Prefecture and collaborate with businesses and entrepreneurs in Kochi Prefecture to create highly unique demonstration projects using Kochi's rich natural environment as a stage. The goal of the project is to create highly unique demonstration projects in Kochi's rich natural environment.<\/p>\n
Under the theme of \"Creating the Future of Kochi's Food with Technology,\" we will invite startup companies, major corporations, and others active in the food tech field from outside the prefecture to participate in a panel discussion with businesses in the prefecture.<\/p>\n
In addition, startup companies, researchers, and others will present their ideas for demonstration experiments and businesses that they would like to realize by combining their knowledge, technology, and know-how with the prefecture's resources in a pitch session.
\nFrom the ideas presented, with the support of Kochi Prefecture and Rivanes, we aim to take a step forward to an actual demonstration experiment.
\nWe are currently accepting applications for session presenters, so please join us.<\/p>\n
