What our attendees / participants have said

The Next Bite event was a fantastic opportunity to network with so many different stakeholders. I met so many different people all working towards the same goal of food security. I'm looking forward to seeing what these opportunities bring and of course Next Bite 2025.

- Emma Chapelhow, UK Agri-Tech Centre
It was a real pleasure to attend and contribute to such a well-attended & vibrant event. The wide range of pertinent topics covered at the conference, coupled with some of the best presentations I've had the pleasure to have witnessed, made it a particularly memorable and worthwhile event – well done, and thank you!

- James Peach, NielsenIQ
I returned home from Next Bite with a renewed will to materialise the regenerative potential of our food system and to work in partnership with governments, startups and corporations to accelerate this transition. Thank you, EIT Food!

- João Brites, HowGood
EIT Next Bite brought together passionate people across industry, startups and investors to problem solve together the huge climate change and deeply unsustainable food system challenges we face. Collaboration is the only viable path forward, and EIT is helping make that path a reality.
