Digital Global Food Summit 2021
Welcome to Foodtropolis - We invite you for a recap!The future is a state of mind, and it has a name: Bioeconomy. Today, we are where we would never have dreamed of being ten years ago: We produce edible proteins, from Co2, bacteria and energy, we produce lettuce in space or in polar ice, and we can use artificial intelligence to predict future flavors and thus sales markets.
So, are we at the dawn of a bioeconomic age? This question will be discussed with politicians, start-ups, companies and scientists from all over the world during the Digital Global Food Summit organised on April 28th and 29th. From Singapore to Bangladesh, Israel, the Netherlands and the USA. Start-ups could present themselves on our new live platform and join the discussion.
For the first time, we were also running the Digital Global Food Summit with our new partner, the German Institute of Food Technologies (DIL) from Quakenbrück, which will contribute to two live sessions.
And we were equally looking forward to working with Innovate Osnabrück, in the start-up space, and the Bavarian Food Cluster, that joined us digitally with its new series of events, “Way To Future Food."
The Global Food Summit will took place digitally and live broadcasted from the Wagner Salon at Theresienhöhe in Munich on April 28th and 29th 2021.
Eight sessions, 47 speakers from nine countries. Take your choice!
