Language: The International Food Innovation Conference will take place in German and in English (simultaneous translation). Unlike food, where we are limited by satiety, the pursuit of well-being is limitless. New scientific findings on the interactions between nutrition, beauty and holistic health are driving the convergence of traditionally isolated industries. A new, dynamic ecosystem with enormous growth potential is emerging at this interface.
The 5th International Food Innovation Conference will shed light on the rise of this integrated wellbeing market: from functional foods and science-based beauty products to personalised prevention concepts, food, healthcare and beauty are merging to create a new billion-dollar market. This transformation, driven by the latest research findings and technological innovations, is creating completely new value networks and offering companies unique opportunities to position themselves in this growth market.
Experience how leading scientists, entrepreneurs and thought leaders are shaping this development and discuss the following questions:
How can food innovations promote healthy ageing and deliver on the longevity promise?
How does microbiome analysis enable personalised health solutions?
How can upcycling of food by-products open up new beauty markets?
How are digital technologies creating holistic health experiences?
How are traditional distribution channels (e.g. supermarkets) becoming integrated wellbeing centres?
The conference is aimed at decision-makers from the food and beauty industry, retail, drugstores, pharmacies, hotels and healthcare who want to utilise the opportunities of this convergence for their business.
