The Food Assembly / La ruche qui dit oui / Boeren & Buuren
The Food Assembly (https://thefoodassembly.com/en) is an online platform enabling the direct trade between communities and local producers. It allows consumers and other buyers to discover the local and fresh products from the area they live in. Using a setup of a local organiser, advanced software and the participation of local farmers they have developed a scalable business to distribute local food at competitive prices. While the headquarters and main development team is based in Paris, they are steadily expanding throughout Europe.

Boer&Bunder
Boer&Bunder (https://boerenbunder.nl/) is a web application that visualises open data on plot level. We use geo-positioned land parcels to give fields a ‘post-code’ and allow information about rotation, soil types, average NDVI values and other data to be attributed to a field and analysed. Inspiration for the application came from several AgTech hackathons, the know-how and commitment of an AgTech provider and a little bit of seed funding by government.

Location: The Thinking Hut
The Thinking Hut is the new and fresh creative co-working space in Amsterdam. These 500sqm once filled with horses have been renovated to re-open doors to a collaborative work environment where different people (entrepreneurs, freelancers, zzp-ers, designers, writers, web developers, marketing minds, account and project managers, ...) can feel comfortable working on their own projects, while having the possibility of sharing, engaging and in essence, creating together with others.
