FMI – The Food Industry Association has named three finalists for its FMItech Pitch Competition.
Badge, NoxuData and Workrz will each have a chance to give a seven-minute pitch on their technology solutions to a panel of judges and live audience during the 2025 FMI Midwinter Executive Conference. The winner will later present to all attendees during a keynote session.
“The food industry continues to invest in technology business solutions. Food retailers alone spent more than $10 billion on technologies, including data analytics and AI, to improve efficiency and the customer experience,” said Doug Baker, VP of industry relations for FMI. “Our FMItech Pitch Competition finalists offer game-changing business solutions addressing crucial issues facing the food industry – the evolving customer experience, technology and workforce.”
