Our Mission

Our mission

DTU Skylab FoodLab is the Technical University of Denmark's multidisciplinary laboratory for food system change and innovation. We are located inside of Skylab, DTU's innovation hub.

Our mission is to support food and agriculture based innovation and entrepreneurship. We train the next generation of engineers to address food systems in a sustainable and systematic way by building connections across food system actors. Ideas and projects are tested in close cooperation with researchers, organizations, industry, policy makers, farmers, artists and chefs.

We operate across borders, exploring how technology can be fundamental in solving food challenges in both developed and developing regions of the world.

Wild Ideas

We stand for progress, for moving society ahead, for inspiring others through wild ideas.

Critical Discussions

We believe in balancing new technological know-how with traditional knowledge to promote new, sustainable value chains.

Systems Thinking

For us, the word ‘food’ does not only categorize food as an ingredient but also as a complex ecosystem.

We incorporate the aims of the Sustainable Development Goals into our work.
