Food and Beverage Business Lab

In partnership with Babson’s Hoffman Family Undergraduate Center for Career Development, students will explore F&B career pathways, visit local businesses, and network with alumni through a food and beverage career trek in Boston.  

The Babson Community Table is a bimonthly gathering of Babson F&B stakeholders in partnership with Graduate Food, Agriculture, and Tech Club.

The Babson Food Fest will be the first annual gathering to celebrate, connect, and collaborate with the Babson F&B community on April 8, 2026. This will be followed by 'Dinner in Green' at Trim Dining.

Fostering a partnership with Babson Dining Services and CommonWealth Kitchen to support student ventures. Support for additional ecosystem partners based on needs and opportunities. These include Branchfood, Community Servings, MA Food System Collaborative, Three Squares New England, and Tufts School of Nutrition.

Food Faculty Connects brings faculty together for idea-sharing; the Teaching Innovation Fund powers hands-on learning; the Babson Faculty Research Fund advances F&B research; and the “Gratitude for Bananas” Costa Rica short course opens doors for student scholarships. Explore, experiment, and elevate the future of food.

Driving impact through food innovation by funding for student ventures in food and beverage, including the coveted B.E.T.A. Challenge Award, the “Food Is Medicine” pilot with the KMH Center for Health Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and a student-athlete refueling station partnership. Together, these initiatives fuel health, entrepreneurship, and the future of food.

We partner with initiatives that make a difference. The Babson Beehive fosters biodiversity on campus, sustainability interns tackle food insecurity and reduce waste, and Babson Stock & Exchange promotes resource sharing as needed. Together, these efforts advance sustainability and strengthen our food ecosystem.
