Founder & CEO at SPRK.global

SPRK = spark = inspiration => systemic change for the better

Vision: global B2B food exchange, to eliminate food waste in the supply chain and drive down climate damage as a result. Picture success: how fantastic would it be, to achieve these goals!

Mission: efficient match-making of food supply and food surplus with demand, using an AI-driven distribution platform. Europe as a starting point. Roll-out: international.  

Rationale & time to act: worldwide, 2.5 billion tons of food are wasted every year, 12-18 million tons in Germany alone. At the same time, 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions are associated with food waste. Hence, two major reasons, to make the global food supply chain more efficient. Targeted outcome: real-time and predictive match-making of supply and demand, to avoid 30-40% of food overproduction - and to protect resources and climate. 

Thrilled about SPRK's global first place at XTC Extreme Tech Challenge (smart cities) in 2020. SPRK was recently nominated for Germany’s federal digitalization award  by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL).
