Dairy Innovation Program

The Dairy Innovation Program builds a pipeline for dairy farmers and food entrepreneurs to ideate, pilot, and scale up value-added dairy products, positioning them as startups able to successfully progress in capitalization, commercialization, and competitions such as Grow-NY. The program supports dairy entrepreneurs from ideation through growth by teaching customer discover, business planning and development, and prototyping. This is executed through the Dairy Runway initiative and the Northeastern Dairy Product Innovation Competition.
