Event description

Join Protein Directory and Bright Green Partners for a 90-minute webinar dedicated to helping companies succeed in the fermentation market.

Topics include:

  • How is fermentation used in the food industry? What does it look like in practice?
  • How to extract/utilize the microbial biomass/protein resulting from fermentation?
  • What are major and upcoming microorganisms to consider in novel food production?
  • What are the pros and cons of these different microorganisms?
  • Which AgriFood side streams could serve as a substrate for fermentation processes?
  • How to use the fermentation of side streams to produce microbial proteins?
  • What other high-value products will be provided by microbial biomass besides protein?
  • How to scale up fermentation technologies?
  • What will the microbial biomass/protein production sector look like in the future?

Audience

Join 200+ food corporations, startups and topic experts to discuss the potential of fermentation for food. Stakeholder audiences include:

  • CEO and CTO of business units or startups.
  • R&D teams.
  • Commercial & Strategy leaders.
