FOCUS ON THE PREVIOUS START-UP SLAMS WINNERS:

2022 Start-up Slams Winner

Sybille Bellamy, Founder & CEO of KetoM+

I had the opportunity to attend and pitch at the Start-up Slams, one of the best ways to display disruptive enterprises and engage with projects like mine. It was a wonderful surprise to win the NutrEvent prize! The jury was fully aware of the need for a new generation of healthy low sugar food products.

 

2021 Start-up Slams Winner

Adrien Plecis, Founder & CEO of myNUMEA

It was a given that myNUMEA would participate in the main European event of the “health and nutrition” sector. To be awarded “the most innovative start-up” was an honour. This prize holds a very special significance for us. To be recognized and distinguished by these experts among many excellent projects is for us the best indicator that myNUMEA is on the right track to revolutionising our relationship to micronutrition.
