NOURISHON 2020
Ideanco Nourishon Dubai, an initiative by ideanco Lab., a transformative food security hackathon in the Middle East that took place on February 26 – 27, 2020 during the UAE Innovation Month and in partnership with AREA 2071. Nourishon is inspired by Nourishment, which is “the food needed for us to grow, to stay healthy, and remain in good condition.” Ideanco Nourishon Dubai brings together the challenges of the region with the local and international innovators who have the passion, expertise, and capability to crack them and come up with an actual solution full of impactful benefits for the community locally, regionally and globally.
Chosen cohorts of innovators to tackle the set of challenges within 24-hours period in a hybrid program (at AREA 2071 in Dubai and virtually from anywhere in the world), before pitching their ideas in front of relevant and well-respected judges coming from the private and public sectors and in particular from the food security, and relevant industries. Such innovative ideas has the potential to be developed to tangible sustainable solutions, projects and potential startups that address not only the region’s food security challenges but also nutrition challenges in different cities across the globe.
The top cohort winner will be virtually incubated at the ideanco “Launch” pillar, powered by ideanco Lab. Ideanco assigned a dedicated virtual incubator platform for Food Security by the name of Kitchenette under Launch, which is inspired by kitchen with the necessary elements needed to innovate and come up with original products and shining food security startups.
