We are excited to announce the expansion of Branchfood to the State of Rhode Island and invite you to join our official launch party!

On September 22, leaders in the Rhode Island food ecosystem will convene to celebrate the expansion of Branchfood—a platform for food innovation—into the Ocean State.

After supporting more than 800 food founders regionally and globally, Branchfood is excited to build its footprint into Rhode Island’s already-thriving food ecosystem. In partnership with Rhode Island Commerce and the Cambridge Innovation Center, Branchfood will accelerate innovation by connecting the community of food entrepreneurs, industry experts, corporate leaders, and investors who share a passion for improving our food system for generations to come.

Join us for remarks from public and private sector representatives, hear about the latest innovations and startups, and enjoy samples from companies across the industry. Branchfood will also reveal plans for how it will bolster innovation and economic growth in the state and welcome consumer product and agri-food tech entrepreneurs led by regional pioneers across the supply chain.
