Our colleagues at PEI’s Food Island Partnership have launched a new program to help aspiring food entrepreneurs move their idea forward. And Emergence is proud to be a contributing partner to the success of this initiative!
Food Xcel – as the new FIP program is known – is a five phase program designed to assist food entrepreneurs through a combination of workshops, networking with food agencies and experts and a chance to compete for a $30,000 grand prize.
Food Xcel breaks down the process of developing a food product into smaller steps to help you make progress, test your assumptions, and build momentum.
Food Island Partnership is an organization dedicated to the Food Industry on Prince Edward Island. FIP partners in projects with companies, industry partners, research, development and technology institutions to further the growth and profitability of the food industry of Prince Edward Island. Projects can be in the area of product development, productivity and production technology and marketing for small to medium sized companies.
