Applications Now Open for Second Annual Blueberry Boost Accelerator, Seeking Next Generation of Blueberry Innovation

In the latest episode of BC Food News with host, Jennifer English, discussions centered around the second annual Blueberry Boost Accelerator, a program announced by the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council and VentureFuel. This eight-week hybrid accelerator targets early-stage, revenue-generating companies using blueberries as a key ingredient in their products and provides them with expert mentorship, tailored commercialization support, and strategic guidance. Startups across various food, beverage, personal care, and pet product categories are invited to apply, with the winning companies to be showcased at The Blueberry Convention in September. The goal of the program, according to Kevin Hamilton of USHBC, is to advance blueberries to become the world's favorite fruit through innovation and partnerships.
