Conception and moderation of the two-day innovation workshop – run for the fourth time in 2021.

The Food Science & Management Symposium “Passion for Innovation” at BFH-HAFL gave the 90 or so participants from the food industry the tools they need to be innovative.

“This workshop clearly showed how important it is to bring the external perspective into the creative phase of the innovation process. Thanks to the external participants and the structured, goal-oriented moderation of the BFH-HAFL Innovation Factory team, we gained insights and ideas that we would not have managed on our own as a team.” (a workshop participant)

“With a systematic and inspiring approach, we were guided in teams to new, exciting product and promotion ideas. We thank BFH-HAFL for the professional moderation of our innovation workshop and can recommend the Innovation Factory team at any time.” (Cornelia Brechbühl, Head of Marketing Pastry, Kambly SA)
