Dubai: Abu Dhabi's Khalifa Fund and the F&B Manufacturers Business Group are launching an F&B Innovation Lab to "discover and mentor" innovative products coming up in this sector. The programme will incubate Emirati talent who have F&B concepts that will focus on sustainability, health, and convenience, which then can develop into successful products for the market. The F&B Innovation Lab - conceived as a first-of-its-kind - will operate in several specific phases starting from: scouting and attracting talent; interviewing and filtering candidates; a five-day innovation bootcamp; and an incubation phase that will lead to the eventual commercialisation of the F&B concept.
