For many investors, EU novel food regulation feels complex, costly, and unpredictable – often discouraging investment in food innovation. Yet an EU novel authorisation offers access to the European market, delivering significant competitive advantages.

To help address these challenges and support those navigating the system, Invest-NL, Forward Food Law and GFI Europe have developed the EU Novel Food Investor Framework – a practical guide designed specifically for investors and entrepreneurs.

In this webinar, Mathilde Do Chi, LL.M., Michiel Strijland and Helene Grosshans will:
– Explain how the EU novel food authorisation works in practice
– Map out different routes to market, including alternative scenarios such as pet food or non-EU markets
– Break down timelines, costs, risks, and strategic opportunities for investors and ventures

If you invest in food innovation – or are considering it – this session will help you navigate the EU’s regulatory landscape and invest with greater confidence and clarity.

The webinar will take place on 4 February at 5pm CET.
