Foodtech

In Brabant we are working hard on sustainable food systems to ensure that there is sufficient quality food for everyone in the future, with respect for our living environment. Companies in Brabant are involved in process technology and optimization, maintenance and inspection, services, handling machines, packaging machines, air treatment and climate control, system cabinets, control equipment and – again – the full supply chain with regards to parts and components. These dedicated innovators aim to make food production as sustainable as possible.

Foodtech

The Foodtech sector in Brabant has the largest share of jobs in the Netherlands, accounting for 34.4%. In addition the region shows the largest growth in companies with 24.9%.

The Foodtech cluster in Brabant offers companies the perfect combination of a fully developed traditional protein value chain – both animal and vegetable – and the innovative power of high-quality tech disruptors such as ‘Protein Brewery’, ‘Vegetarische Slager’ and state-of-the-art insect breeders.
