“…Although the transformation of the food system requires many changes, a possible catalyst to alter the food system has been and will be the use of research and innovation [1]. Continuous growth in the food industry depends on innovations [28]. It is critical to develop innovations, increase the share and adaptation of innovative solutions, and develop specific solutions for a given ecosystem that can be adopted by distinct socio-economic and sociocultural conditions [29].…”

“…In food processing and packaging, substantial advancements have been made in recent years [28]. The advances in food processing contribute to a more sustainable approach, for instance, by using less water and energy and creating higher-quality foods with better nutritional values [28]. Currently, the novel technologies in food processing are divided between thermal and non-thermal processing.…”

“…Currently, the novel technologies in food processing are divided between thermal and non-thermal processing. Thermal processing includes microwave, ohmic heating, infrared heating, and radiofrequency heating [28]. Non-thermal food processing includes pulsed electric fields technologies, high-pressure processing, irradiation, ozone processing as well as supercritical carbon dioxide [28].…”

The food system represents a key industry for Europe and Germany in particular. However, it is also the single most significant contributor to climate and environmental change. A food system transformation is necessary to overcome the system’s major and constantly increasing challenges in the upcoming decades. One possible facilitator for this transformation are radical and disruptive innovations that start-ups develop. There are many challenges for start-ups in general and food start-ups in particular. Various support opportunities and resources are crucial to ensure the success of food start-ups. One aim of this study is to identify how the success of start-ups in the food system can be supported and further strengthened by actors in the innovation ecosystem in Germany. There is still room for improvement and collaboration toward a thriving innovation ecosystem. A successful innovation ecosystem is characterised by a well-organised, collaborative, and supportive environment with a vivid exchange between the members in the ecosystem. The interviewees confirmed this, and although the different actors are already cooperating, there is still room for improvement. The most common recommendation for improving cooperation is learning from other countries and bringing the best to Germany.
