THE INNOVATION:
CPH Food Space is a development environment established in 2016 for food entrepreneurs and blooming SMEs, being a visible center for
food experiences, new thoughts for food production and collaborations within and around the food world. CPH Food Space is located in the vibrant meat packing district of Copenhagen, and will house up to 300 aspiring food entrepreneurs. CPH Food Space works openly, diversely and generously for the world to have good, clean and fair food. It was established in cooperation between deeply passionate founders and entrepreneurs, who dreamt of a place with open arms and doors giving room to creativity and co-creation.
LOOKING AHEAD:
CPH Food Space see itself as a key actor in a new sustainable food system, linking people and companies of all sizes, methods, ideas in a generous sharing community (combining). To do so, more understanding and awareness of the cooperative model must be raised to facilitate better collaboration, financing options and trust (maturing).

Info about the Innovators and the Innovation portraits Catalogue
FoodSHIFT 2030 aims to launch an ambitious citizen-driven transition of the European food system towards a low carbon circular future, including a shift to less meat and more plant based diets. This transition is necessary in order to address the pressing challenges for food and nutrition security, contribute to the EU commitment of reducing GHG emissions by at least 40% by 2030, and revitalize urban-rural linkages and partnerships.
To do so, it establishes FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs for maturing, combining, upscaling and multiplying existing food system innovations across nine front-runner city-regions. In turn these innovations contribute to the FoodSHIFT vision.
An Innovation Catalogue called “Innovation Portraits” was created to snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions.
Info about the Innovation Portraits Catalogue
The Innovation Catalogue will snapshot each of the Food Innovations connected with each of the FoodSHIFT Accelerator Labs (FALs) across the 9 city regions. Each FAL has a dedicated innovation focus and each chapter will present innovation cases from a particular FAL. For each of the innovations presented, a snapshot of the innovation concept and purpose will be given, alongside the key impacts the innovation has in relation to the FoodSHIFT Impact Pathways and the acceleration ambitions of the innovation.
In addition, each innovation portrait is also categorized according to its Innovation Dimension. These dimensions indicate what kind of innovation is being presented, and where in the value chain it plays a role. This is indicated by these tabs. The dimensions are defined as follows:
Product – Innovations in this category address new or updated products, including quality, safety and market impact.
Process – These innovations are relevant to new technologies for processing, logistical improvements, infrastructure and new/improved services.
Social – Innovations in this category are relevant to changes in behaviour (e.g. consumers/citizens), development of new relationships and inclusiveness.
Governance – The innovations address policy developments, including food planning, subsidies, taxing, certificates & labelling.
