Why Attend
What is the Food Innovation & Investment Summit?
We know there are several events and exhibitions for the food sector out there and we know they are good. However, you have told us there is something missing: an industry conference that shines a spotlight on fast-moving product and ingredient innovation, and that connects this innovation with investors facilitating partnerships and investment.
At the Food Innovation & Investment Summit you will hear plenary C-suite discussions focused on the macro trends impacting the food market including the consumer drive to shift our food system to make it more sustainable; scaling innovative foods to bring them to the mainstream; understanding what makes an attractive investment opportunity for investors and building partnerships.
You will then get the opportunity to break out into focused conference streams across the two days to deep dive into the 3 most exciting areas of product and ingredient innovation:
