Over the year, we collaborate with a wide range of organisations to bring awareness to leading sustainability initiatives and host discussions on some of the biggest challenges and opportunities faced by the industry.
At Innovation Forum, we specialise in bringing the right stakeholders together for the right conversations. Our network of 40,000 and our methods of engaging with stakeholders from farmers, traders, brands, NGOs, policy makers to retailers are a proven resource for companies such as Nestlé, Bayer, Tesco, Cargill and many others.
We work on topics including climate, sustainable agriculture, apparel supply chains, human rights. Because we have the reach, the expertise, and the focus to deliver independent, structured support, our partners trust us to deliver critical insights in these areas.
Here are some ways we can work with you and your organisation.

"Collaborating with Innovation Forum on our Focus on Farmers series has enabled us to engage with farmers, food processors, retailers, NGOs and policy to discuss concrete innovations and collaborations for better impact at the grower level. The engagement and questions posed by the senior audience present in these discussions help us understand better ongoing needs of farmers in our industry and how to better address these as a collective.” - Head of communications EMEA, Bayer Crop Science "Innovation Forum organised a series of projects that not only allowed us to showcase our report findings, but also amplified the voices of those directly impacted by climate transitions. IF's efforts in putting together a diverse panel for the webinar provided a strong foundation for collaboration among new and interested stakeholders. The closed-door workshop they organised was particularly valuable, fostering open and honest discussions with key players in Brazil’s agriculture supply chain. This helped us address challenges and explore collaborative solutions. The IF team excelled at coordinating multiple initiatives and facilitating high-level discussions with food and agriculture stakeholders, ensuring we had clear, actionable steps for Orbitas, Climate Advisers." - Senior director climate-related risk, Climate Advisers
