Thus, the challenges, launched by the program to the innovative ecosystem in this third edition, are:
CHALLENGE 1: How could we reduce the use of plastics in product packaging?

In this new summon of Ebro Talent: Caring for Innovation, entrepreneurs who propose solutions to any of these challenges, will participate in a Bootcamp. During this intensive work camp, participants will work, for 48 hours, on-site in dynamics of co-creation of solutions and will receive training related to business development within the food sector.
