Worth getting into bed with Fonterra?

Fonterra has launched the Fonterra Ventures Co-Lab. This open platform — www.fonterraventures.com — provides the opportunity for anyone, anywhere to collaborate with Fonterra on disruptive ideas for mutual benefit. Any kind of disruptive innovation, such as new business models, services, technologies or processes, from individuals, small businesses or large corporates anywhere in the world, are welcome.

At the launch, Judith Swales, chief operating officer velocity & innovation at Fonterra, said, “Fonterra is fortunate to partner with some brilliant businesses in New Zealand and across the globe, and we’re looking to join forces with them in increasingly innovative ways to accelerate growth and ultimately return more value to our farmers.

“We’re also actively looking outside our organisation and are open-minded as to where that could lead us. Through Ventures Co-Lab, we want to collaborate with innovators to think big and win big, together.”
