In our journey to redefine the coffee experience of tomorrow, we are diving deep into innovation, targeting the dynamic tastes of younger consumers and the operational challenges of coffee service providers. Our focus is twofold: to enchant the adventurous palates of the youth with novel coffee flavors, textures, and sensory experiences, and to innovate the preparation of coffee, making it swift and enriching for bars worldwide.

We are seeking startups, scaleups, or SMEs from around the globe with innovative solutions that align with our identified needs. You should possess a minimum viable product or beyond, a fully committed team, and proof of your solution's uniqueness through research papers, patents (pending/granted), know-how, certifications, or other supporting information. Additionally, you should demonstrate a path to economically scale production at speed or collaborate effectively to achieve scale. Lastly, you should not be working for a competitor of Lavazza.

The 8 most promising solutions will be presented to the Lavazza team in charge of scouting innovative solutions; they will attend a demo-day and one will be selected for a pilot project.

The chosen startup will gain the opportunity to work closely with an industry leader, expand its solutions into a new industry and reach new markets with continued support.
