Nutraingredients-USA is on the hunt for entrepreneurial consumer-facing, science or technology based start-ups to join our Probiota Pioneers session and present their company in Vancouver. 

There has never been a better time to launch a start-up in this field. As major universities look to spin-out and license key discoveries, global food and pharma businesses open up venture funds and external innovation programs and incubators to draw innovative entrepreneurs into their orbit - there are rich pickings for probiotic, prebiotic and microbiome pioneers in search of money, experience and a global platform for their ideas.
