Hello, we’re Hive.

Unilever’s Foods Innovation Centre

Do you like to shake things up in the kitchen? How about the world? Welcome to Hive. Hive is Unilever’s global Foods Innovation Centre and we live at the Wageningen Campus in the Netherlands, the Silicon Valley of Food. Together, we’re making food that tastes good, feels good and is a force for good. Now and for the future.
