The Network

The goal of the Food Cluster is to reinforce Bavaria’s competitive and innovative position as a location when it comes to food. As a networking platform, the Cluster brings together important players from agriculture, the food trade, the food industry, science and food retail. It offers stimuli, supports the topics of the future and provides startup financing for innovative ideas.

The Food Cluster is based at the Kompetenzzentrum für Ernährung (KErn—Competence Center for Nutrition) in Kulmbach, Upper Franconia. The cluster closely monitors developments in the nutrition industry in order to identify innovations and use them to develop relevant, future-oriented projects and events for the Bavarian agricultural and food industry. Since the Food Cluster was founded in 2006, as part of the Cluster Offensive in Bavaria, more than 200 projects and 1,300 events have been launched and supported.
