Better Plate Accelerator

MAF is thrilled to announce the opening of registrations for the third cohort of the Better Plate Accelerator program in 2024, building on two years of successful collaboration with MassChallenge Israel.

We encourage you to share this opportunity with anyone interested in joining our program.
Research shows that significantly fewer women entrepreneurs apply to accelerator programs compared to their male counterparts. We highly encourage women to apply, and the Better Plate team is fully prepared to accommodate your specific requirements and support your journey.
Together, we will continue to lead the charge in food innovation, working toward a better future and a better plate.

Our Story
In early 2022, The Modern Agriculture Foundation launched Better Plate, the Middle East's first alternative protein accelerator track. This unique program operates in partnership with MassChallenge Israel's Core Accelerator, and benefits from a distinguished team of entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders.
Better Plate aims to accelerate Israeli and international early-stage startups that are developing sustainable food innovations such as plant-based proteins, fermented foods, or cultivated meat. The goal of the program is to disrupt the traditional animal protein sector and promote a better, healthier world.
