S.Pellegrino wishes to cultivate an international talent ecosystem pushing a

continuous evolution, not only within the sector, but also across society.

Keeping the S.Pellegrino Young Chef cooking competition as backbone, the

S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy sets the educational approach as the core of

its program. Synonymous with passion and dedication, the Academy is an

inclusive place, where youth meets experience, supporting the development of

the next generation of visionary talents wanting to make a difference in

Gastronomy worldwide.

The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy opens its doors to participants from more

than 70 countries, ensuring that talent knows no boundaries in terms of

ethnicity, gender, geography or any other extraneous factors. All the young

candidates selected for the S.Pellegrino Young Chef competition automatically

enter the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy, together with the Senior profiles -

Sages, Mentors and Jurors – involved in the different editions of the contest.

Some of the most renowned members of the global culinary community, who already

left their mark during the S.Pellegrino Young Chef journey, will share their

precious expertise within the Academy, enjoying the opportunity to pass on

their personal beliefs to the next generations of chefs.

Well-known chefs Enrico Bartolini, Massimo Bottura, Manu Buffara, Andreas

Caminada, Mauro Colagreco, Gavin Kaysen, Clare Smyth and the Editor-in-Chief of

Fine Dining Lovers Ryan King are the first ones who join the project: they will

collaborate with S.Pellegrino to enrich the educational program, developing an

exciting and exclusive calendar of webinars, interviews and discussions

available on the Academy's digital properties.

The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy will also be supported by a selection of

prestigious partners, including ALMA - La Scuola Internazionale di Cucina

Italiana, Google, Facebook and Fondazione Altagamma,  available to contribute

to the academic contents exploring different relevant topics - innovation,

inclusivity, communication, among others - and enlarging the qualified offer to

Young Chefs.

Stefano Bolognese, Sanpellegrino International Business Unit Director, says:

"We are particularly proud to announce the opening of our S.Pellegrino Young

Chef Academy, as a further step to our commitment in shaping the future of

Gastronomy, together with the most brilliant chef community. The project aims

to facilitate talent discovery and connection, with a specific focus on the

young generations of chefs, who will be the game changers of tomorrow.

Furthermore, today, having dedicated virtual spaces to share experiences, ideas

and opportunities has become crucial to deal with the challenges of the future.

We developed the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy as an international community,

connected across digital and human networks, with a credible approach supported

by the influential industry figures and partners that are joining (and will

join) this stimulating adventure with us".
