Collaboration StartLife startups & Makro results in healthy burger

Archief,

As part of StartLife’s cooperation with METRO, wholesale specialist Makro helped several food startups to develop their products further and prepare for market introduction. Together with Groentenbrood (bread with vegetables), Botanic Bites (vegan burgers based on vegetables) and  Organic Love (healthy mayonnaise based on vegetables), Makro created a super healthy burger: a tomato or seaweed burger, served on crispy carrot bread with delicious fresh garnish and pumpkin or carrot mayonnaise. The burger can be tried at the Makro Foodcourts now!

Makro shops in the Netherlands, startups can get a stage at the Network Squares. Read more about them (in Dutch) at https://www.makro-netwerkplein.nl/home.
