CzechFoodChem 2025
Join us at CzechFoodChem 2025 – the well-established annual meeting of experts in food production, safety, and innovation!
This annual gathering brings together experts from academia, industry, regulatory bodies, and research institutions to explore cutting-edge developments in the food and agricultural sectors. The 2025 edition is themed “Traditional vs. Novel Food” and promises lively discussions on the future of our food systems.
Don't miss the EIT Food-supported session, "Innovation in the Food Industry: Alternative Proteins from Insects.”
This unique segment will spotlight the latest scientific and industry insights on insect-based proteins—from nutritional analysis to regulatory challenges and novel applications. It’s a must-attend for anyone interested in sustainable food solutions and collaborative innovation across Europe.
The event is in Czech/Slovak.
