| [BAKINGBUSINESS] NORWICH, VT. — In a new collaboration, King Arthur Baking Co. [formerly King Arthur Flour Co] and Project Potluck, a nonprofit championing People of Color (POC) in the consumer packaged goods and food and beverage industries have launched Baking Pitchfest 2024. This accelerator program is designed to elevate POC entrepreneurs in the baking industry, offering them opportunities for growth, mentorship and exposure to the industry. Baking Pitchfest 2024 seeks to create a community of POC bakers and entrepreneurs, gathered by their shared love for baking. The program is divided into two editions, one focusing on bakeries and the other on baking products, ensuring a broad scope of creative talent is recognized and nurtured, according to King Arthur. Molly Lawrence, corporate social responsibility manager, King Arthur Baking, said the diversity of applicants and the potential for innovative products and business concepts furthers King Arthur's mission to support increased racial and ethnic diversity in the field. "Pitchfest 2024 is a testament to our commitment to fostering a more inclusive baking community and empowering creative POC leaders in the industry," Lawrence said. |
