NETHERLANDS- On Tuesday May 24 the spectacular finale of the first edition of the Food Boost Challenge will take place. In the World Horti Center, the 10 nominated student teams will pitch their concept - with which they will entice young people between 12 and 20 years of age to eat more fruit and vegetables - to a professional jury and a room full of partners, press, fellow students and entrepreneurs.

Besides the pitches, none other than Ron Simpson (The Avocado Show) will inspire about his experience with health and the research results from The Hague University of Applied Sciences will be shared! We will end the afternoon by presenting the three prizes while enjoying a networking drink with the student teams and business partners.

The Food Boost Challenge is an initiative of Medical Delta Living Lab VIT for Life, HortiHeroes, Foodvalley NL and De Haagse Hogeschool. For more information check www.foodboostchallenge.nl.
