For this 11th Collision cohort, we are looking for 8 to 10 entrepreneurial teams developing food systems solutions.

 Your project is in the early stage (you have completed your ideation phase and are ready to validate your proof of concept)

 Your team is located in Quebec

 Your project responds in an innovative, efficient and realistic manner to an identified problem or need in the food systems sector, either by:

 a technological innovation (hardware or software)

 an organizational innovation and changes in practices

  or a social innovation.

We encourage anyone from a marginalized or under-represented community to submit a project, including women, Aboriginal people, visible minorities, or people living with a disability.
