Hack the Future of Food 2025

Johan Quintero, FIPDes student from cohort 13 attended a food hackathon in Estonia and won the first prize with his team!

“I’m thrilled that our team won 1st Prize at Hack the Future of Food 2025!
This two-day event was hosted by Tartu Biotechnology Park in Estonia with support from EIT Food, METK, TFTAK, and A. Le Coq .
We developed Pakkify, an AI/OCR powered platform helping food producers simplify EU packaging labeling compliance.
A big thank you to my amazing team Calvin and Ivo for their creativity and collaboration, Keiu Käära for the excellent organization during event, Mari Leito from A. Le Coq for her guidance along the project and Tartu Biotechnology Park and Tartu Nature House for the warm welcome in the beautiful Tartu!
This experience highlighted the value of the skills I’ve gained during my master’s program at FIPDes and how the insights I have acquired at Lund University about food packaging have been truly invaluable in practice!"
