Breakfast event: Food ingredient suppliers – The innovation engine of the food industry

  • Rooftop, Talacker 50, Zurich

The food industry has been through a period of severe turbulence. Unprecedented food inflation weighed on consumer sentiment, which - combined with industry-wide destocking - weighed on food manufacturers' sales. As these headwinds normalize, the food industry is looking to reignite volume growth through innovation investments in areas such as functional fortification, clean label and sugar reduction. Food ingredient suppliers play an important role as innovation drivers and are therefore likely to benefit particularly from the revival in demand.
