As for 2020, the ToasterLAB acceleration program will take place virtually to take into account the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. Clément Galbois, ToasterLAB Business developer  explains: "thanks to our experience last year, the acceleration sessions are organised to allow our entrepreneurs to gain a maximum of benefit from the advice and support from experts and mentors."

Innovative agri-food start-ups will have two opportunities to join ToasterLAB in 2020: following this first intake, a second call for applications will close in June 2021.
