Event description

With fermentation touted as the next pillar in the alternative protein movement, and a growing appetite from consumers to buy into the nutritional and sustainability benefits of this food technology, it is now more important than ever to come together as a community.

Whether you are currently developing a new fermentation-enabled protein product offering, securing production capacity to achieve scale-up, or are looking to launch into the growing consumer alternative protein space, this is the key meeting to kick-off a highly successful 2022.
