Rootcamp Gmbh

The RootCamp is an innovation hub for technology-oriented startups from the agrifood tech and bioeconomy sector. The accelerator was founded in Hannover, Germany, by the SpinLab Accelerator and the fertilizer and salt producer, K+S.

RootCamp’s mission is to disrupt the agrifood value chain and to do so it offers different programs, targeted to young and later-stage startups from all around the world. Support is offered with intense coaching, a network of mentors, industry experts, and investors. The teams stay in the program from three up to twelve months and get a financial grant of up to € 50.000 in exchange for no equity.

A fundamental part of the program is corporate innovation and venture clienting: the collaboration between startups and corporate partners to develop new ideas and implement suitable solutions, in the form of pilot projects.
