The FABB (Food and Beverage Business) Lab will support, connect, and amplify much of the work on campus, in addition to offering new opportunities, to catalyze entrepreneurial leaders in creating food solutions. The lab will collaborate with student clubs and Babson College Dining to support Dinner in Green on April 8 with programming to highlight alumni-led and local sustainable food and beverage businesses.
The FABB Lab also will provide funding for several Babson initiatives, including research and faculty grants related to food and beverage, career development in the industry, a special award at the B.E.T.A. Challenge, sustainability interns, and scholarships for a short course (A Gratitude Journey for Bananas) focused on marketing innovation and responsible supply chain in Costa Rica in March.
The FABB Lab is more than a workspace—it’s a creative community. Students, faculty, and alumni collaborate across disciplines, sharing ideas and resources to build ventures with impact. From sustainability fairs to peer feedback sessions, the Lab fosters connection, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Faculty and staff are vital partners in the FABB Lab. Whether mentoring student teams, exploring AI-driven innovation, or collaborating on experiential learning, the Lab offers tools and space to support teaching, research, and venture development. It’s a hub for interdisciplinary exploration and entrepreneurial leadership.
At the FABB Lab, founders can prototype, refine, and test their ideas—turning entrepreneurial thought into action. Whether you're preparing to pitch or building your first MVP, the Lab is your launchpad.
