Food Industry Day - 10 October

Join us for an educational and inspiring event that will explore the latest food trends and innovations! On 10 October, industry professionals, scientists, public authorities, and businesses will come together to share experiences and knowledge, discuss sustainability solutions, and learn about the latest technologies in food production. During the event, participants will have the opportunity to engage in various discussions on future food trends and sustainable production, attend lectures on innovation in the food sector, and hear from entrepreneurs and participants who have successfully been part of the EIT support programs. The role of the EIT Food Hub in fostering innovation across Europe will also be highlighted, along with success stories in promoting sustainable production. In addition to the educational program, visitors will have the chance to participate in networking activities, make new contacts, and connect with others in the industry. Special emphasis will be placed on pitching sessions, where entrepreneurs will present their ideas and compete for investors' attention and valuable prizes.

The aim of Food Industry Day is to bring together key stakeholders from the food industry, including professionals, scientists, public authorities, and businesses, to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange. This event seeks to explore the latest innovations and trends in food production, promote sustainable practices, and highlight the role of technology in shaping the future of the sector. By facilitating discussions, educational sessions, and networking opportunities, the event aims to inspire innovation, encourage investment in sustainable food solutions, and support the growth of entrepreneurial ventures within the industry. The event will focus on addressing EIT Food's core missions: achieving a Net-zero food system, promoting healthier lives through food, and reducing risks to create a fair and resilient food system.
