Pioneering Tetra Pak® Scale-Up Ecosystem Launches in Collaboration with Naked Innovations, Tastewise & F6S

This week Tetra Pak® unveiled their new Tetra Pak® Scale-Up Ecosystem; a growth acceleration programme designed to empower emerging brands with expansion opportunities, including access to new markets, channels and packaging formats. Bringing together scale-ups, co-manufacturers, retailers and investors, the programme will provide an essential ecosystem of services and industry partners, as well as access to world-class facilities and mentorship. 

Naked Innovations had the pleasure of collaborating with Tetra Pak® supporting them with the research, scoping and design stages of the programme’s creation. Other collaborators include Tastewise; an AI-powered market intelligence tool that will provide AI-assisted product analysis for programme participants, and F6S; a global startup community that is supporting the programme’s application process. The Tetra Pak team managing the programme includes Incubator Manager Maty Alarcón and Business Development Managers Martin Stebens and Mayara Belorio. 

Who Can Apply?

Tetra Pak® is looking for high-growth emerging brands with proven product concepts that want to mainstream and expand their growth. Companies must have healthy sales in their own market and a 30-40% volume growth in the past year. The programme is open to companies from across the globe but they must sell a shelf-stable food product that can be packaged in Tetra Pak® cartons.

Applications close on the 31st of October 2023. Apply now HERE.

"This is a golden ticket to rapid market expansion, investor and retailer access, backed up by world-class facilities and mentorship."
