Cork's Kwayga spots €24bn global food security opportunity

Covid-19 has focused businesses more and more on their supply chains, said fast-emerging Cork business Kwayga's CEO Martin Fitzgerald. "Right now, businesses are seeking new solutions to help buyers diversify their suppliers, and suppliers to diversify their markets." Kwayga is a B2B matching platform for buyers and suppliers in the food sector designed around trust and security. Using the platform buyers and suppliers discover, verify, match, connect, communicate in any language and trade. "Kwayga focuses on democratising international trade for mid-sized businesses by putting the right buyers with the right suppliers at the right time. Trust is the key component. We use AI to verify company profiles, we protect buyers from unsolicited approaches by giving them strong privacy controls, and we make a promise to suppliers that the deals posted on our platform are from real verified buyers."
