Event description

The 4th Fermentation-Enabled Alternative Protein Summit returns as a flagship forum to drill down into the end-to-end technical and strategic challenges of commercializing an alternative protein. This event brings together leading investors, alternative protein producers, CPGs, retailers, brand names, ingredient providers, media, and equipment providers who are working together to unlock fermentation’s potential in the alternative protein space.

GFI’s Lead Fermentation Scientist, Adam Leman, Ph.D., is chairing a portion of the conference focused on achieving global market access and longevity by overcoming funding bottlenecks and working collaboratively. He is also giving the event’s closing remarks.

Register now to join Adam in San Francisco for an in-depth exploration of the latest technical and commercial insights in the fermentation industry!
