Following the success of the first food-tech hub, The Kitchen, the Strauss Group and the Innovation Authority launched a second project. This time, the new hub is located in Rehovot – The Food Tech Center of Israel.
The Kitchen serves as the beating heart of the hub, buzzing with activity every lunchtime as food development teams prepare communal meals. The light colors and greens that fill the kitchen space aim to connect the technology hub to its roots and sources—nature—in order to foster creative and innovative growth.
From the reception area, one can observe the work being done in the cell culture, food application, and fermentation labs. The large windows in the development areas highlight the collaborative nature of technical growth occurring in every space, from the entrance to the kitchen and labs. The transparent work areas surrounding the kitchen also reflect collaboration and technology, all of which strive to cultivate a pure working relationship between nature, smell, food, and people, fostering a seamless working process in this advanced hub.
