As a forward-thinking organisation, we blend excellence in research and innovation with a hands-on approach to empowering ecosystems, driving progress, and fostering inclusivity. From bridging academia and industry to supporting startups and scaling ventures, our mission is to create lasting value for communities, economies, and the planet.
We are headquartered in Novi Sad, Serbia, with a second office in Osijek, Croatia, and a presence across Europe through our wide-ranging activities. This is additionally underlined with the location of our two offices – nested in the fertile Pannonian Basin in Europe, our offices are within two Universities (one Faculty of Agricultural and one university incubator – symbolically representing our synergy of local expertise and global ambition).
Together with our partners, often through ambitious EU projects, we build a future where science drives resilience, and innovation fuels opportunity.
Starting as an Impact Venture Studio, Foodscale Hub has grown into an Impact Venture Group. This evolution reflects our commitment to driving transformative change across ecosystems, enabling us to broaden our reach, diversify our focus, and amplify the support we provide to ventures and collaborators.
The Four Divisions Shaping Our Vision
As we continue to grow, our progress is unfolding through the development of four new divisions, reflecting the evolution of our organisational structure.
Our Roles and Expertise
At Foodscale Hub, we empower innovators, partners, and stakeholders to turn ideas into impact. We have been actively involved in EU projects since 2007, bringing a wealth of experience in delivering clear value through strategic implementation and practical results. Each role is designed to foster collaboration, accelerate solutions, and drive sustainable growth.
-
D&C and Ecosystem Building
Our expertise lies in designing and implementing targeted dissemination and communication strategies to amplify project visibility and ensure results reach the right audiences. By building dynamic innovation ecosystems and fostering stakeholder collaboration, we maximise impact and ensure long-term sustainability.
-
Exploitation, IP management and Business Modeling
We enable innovations to thrive through effective exploitation strategies, robust IP management, and business modelling. By creating clear commercialisation pathways and scalable frameworks, we help transform project outcomes into tangible market success.
-
FSTP - Cascade Funding
We are leaders in cascading funding mechanisms, also known as Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP), managing the full lifecycle of open calls. From defining frameworks and evaluating proposals to providing hands-on support for funded entities, we ensure transparency, efficiency, and maximum impact for EU-funded projects.
-
Piloting and End-User Trials
We coordinate and implement pilot programs and end-user trials to validate solutions in real-world settings. By fostering collaborative development with key stakeholders and engaging directly with end-users, we co-create and refine innovations to ensure they meet practical needs. This hands-on approach bridges the gap between technology and adoption, delivering solutions that address real challenges.
-
Training and Business Support Programs
Our customized training programs and business support initiatives equip stakeholders with the tools to innovate, scale, and succeed. By combining capacity-building, mentorship, and business model development, we create a foundation for sustainable growth and market entry.

LCA and Sustainability Assessment
From 2025, we will introduce Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and sustainability assessment services to measure environmental, economic, and social impacts. These insights will help partners optimize processes, enhance resource efficiency, and align with climate-neutral goals.
