1. CONSULTING

The Food Bridge provides a wide variety of consulting services. Please see our latest Index of Services.

Our consulting creates the basis of a successful execution stage.

Our experience leads us to be extremely cautious when advising market entry strategies or brand building paths. We do not improvise and avoid any involvement in projects that lack sufficient preparation for action.

2. DISTRIBUTION

Through The Food Bridge, we help companies to grow their business in new and existing markets.

We expand our clients' access to local knowledge, their distribution platform, their revenue sources and opportunities, and their market shares.

The “Distribution” model normally entails the provision of various consulting and execution services (Ref. See latest Index of Services). The proper service plan and package shall be developed for the specific client and product.

3. NESTING

We provide a nest or incubation platform to companies that either (i) would like one stop service for all its market entry needs; or (ii) would like to set up an independent platform of their own in the long term and need to speed up the required knowledge for a successful market entry (“temporary nesting”).

The “Nesting” model normally entails the provision of various consulting and execution services (Ref. See latest Index of Services). The proper service plan and package shall be developed for the specific client and product. 4.

We believe in our clients and we invest together with our clients when we share the long term vision. 7. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT We are constantly building relationships with research and development centers and academic centers and universities focused on new food technologies. We understand the need of all these centers to be able to contrast their research and

We are highly interested in continuing this process and our focus is to facilitate the entrance into China of new technologies. We are also exploring different ways in which our different offices in different continents can create value by putting together “the right sections of the value chain”, whether by sourcing the right in-put materials in South America, and the right technologies in the U.S. or by processing and manufacturing the corresponding products in China. 8.
