• School: Leioa Hospitality School.
• Name of the project: Kitchen.
• Activity: Four students from the Hospitality School of Leioa have proposed that the quality of the meals served in the canteens of schools, residences and hotels can be improved if a company is created that carries out the following tasks: on the one hand, centralizing the purchase of products from 0 kilometers, agreed in advance with producer cooperatives, and on the other hand, preparing the products in the kitchens when they are ready to be taken to each customer (cleaned, peeled, cut and packaged).

2nd Prize: €1,200.

• School: CPES LEA Artibai BHIP.
• Project name: Koof Kombucha.
• Activity: Kombucha is a fermented drink made with black or green tea using sugar. This allows yeasts and bacteria, called SCOBYs, to grow to help balance gut flora, strengthen the immune system and improve gut function. Koof kombucha entrepreneurs want to create their own brand, with different flavors, and distribute the drink to bars and stores. Thus, they want to expand the range of non-alcoholic drinks offered to consumers today, promoting healthy options and a circular and local economy.
