A selection committee will choose between four and eight startups that will benefit from advantages such as the creation of their own IP, access to CNTA's capabilities and expertise, visibility, mentoring to connect their developments with consumers, and membership in the Food (Tech)2 Challengers Club.

A total of 19 participating startups and 22 technological challenges completed since 2021 highlight the trajectory of Food (Tech)2 Challengers. The technology boosting program is led by CNTA (National Center for Food Safety and Technology) and funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food (MAPA).
