FoodManShip Awards

The winners of the FoodmanShip Awards 2025 have been revealed! Six projects by passionate students were awarded for their exceptional contributions to the food systems and food of the future. All within the theme: ‘Next food waves’.

The FoodManShip awards are given to those students who are outstanding on a combination of 5 aspects:

  • Food know-how – ability to use specific food knowledge and skills,
  • Conceptual or systemic thinking – ability to think in abstract concepts,
  • Creativity - ability to think outside the box,
  • Entrepreneurship - ability to grab an opportunity and go with it, and
  • Presentation - ability to convince with a professional pitch.

We present the FoodManship awards in each category of the HAS Food Experience. An award winner of each category is chosen by an expert jury. The jury consisted of a combination of HAS professors, HAS alumni, press representative and ambassadors (relations in the food market).

Themes 2025

Convenience

In this category we find products and concepts that offer convenience and accessibility in the modern food environment. Convenience is about innovative solutions that simplify daily life, such as ready-made meals, snack options, and smart packaging that makes preparing and/or consuming food easier.

Health

In this category we find concepts and interventions that are in line with a healthier lifestyle, both in the field of healthy products, lifestyle, target group nutrition and interventions that have an impact on healthy eating behavior and mental aspects of health through food concepts.

Indulgence

In this category we find concepts, products and packaging that evoke a sense of luxury and indulgence. Think of refined flavours, decadent ingredients, unique dining experiences, stylish packaging with extra experience that invites people to indulge.

Production & Technology

This category includes concepts and interventions that focus on (innovative) production processes, digitalisation and automation. It also includes initiatives in the areas of water and energy management, quality control and systems.

This category includes concepts and interventions that focus on sustainable and alternative proteins, as well as hybrid concepts that promote a flexitarian lifestyle. This category also includes initiatives that help prevent food waste and stimulate more sustainable packaging, as well as sustainable food systems and circular food chains.
