About

Dynamic Innovations Campus

DICA stands for Dynamic Innovation Campus - Drinks, Food, Tech. It is the accelerator program and innovation ecosystem of the beverage industry.

B2B co-creation and innovation community.

The goal of the program is to accelerate startups and established companies. DICA innovation partners accelerate their business development in strategic areas and startups accelerate their development by collaborating with established players.

All DICA participants become part of the DICA community, which shares innovation momentum beyond B2B co-creation. Whether new blockchain technologies, innovative handling of digital applications, revolutionary process innovations or products, as long as your idea has application in the beverage industry, there is potential for acceleration and co-creation here.

Program Sequence

Online application
Pre-Matching Workshop on B2B Co-Creation for selected start-ups with identifiable B2B co-creation potential.

Our Philosophy

DICA is a starting point. From this point, innovative developments in the industry are to be actively accompanied and accelerated with openness and a cooperative spirit. We deliberately want to create a space where experiments and new partnership models can be thought of and carried out for both start-ups and established companies. With the methods of start-up development and the approaches of co-creation, completely new paths can be taken and essential questions about the future design of the beverage industry can be addressed in the process. Bridging the gap between established players and start-ups is a key element in addressing issues such as

societal change, e.g. in the area of consumer behavior or population structure,
the challenges of digitalization or
the demand for sustainable action

sustainable action.
