Event description

Focusing on three key pillars: plant-based, cell-based, and microbial fermentation, the Future Food-Tech Alternative Protein Summit will bring together CPG leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, ingredient providers, retailers and food service providers to unpack the possibilities of these technologies and create unified approaches to scaling the next generation of novel proteins.

From ingredient discovery and product formulation, to regulation, communication and commercialization, conversations will dive into all facets of alternative proteins and provide a comprehensive overview of key players, markets, and solutions.

GFI director of science and technology, Dr. Liz Specht, will be speaking.
