“Attending the Future Food-Tech Alternative Protein Summit in Chicago was truly enlightening. The insights gained on how institutions and governments can collaborate to support food innovators, and the potential for Catalonia to offer valuable solutions, have been incredibly inspiring!”

Senior Business Consultant, CATALONIA TRADE & INVESTMENT

“Future Food-Tech Alternative Proteins is a great place to reconnect with my network, meet the next generation of start-ups, and get updated about the latest developments in the space!”

Programme Manager, Proteins For Life, WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY & RESEARCH

“The summit presented an excellent forum to meet new companies entering the industry and reconnect with industry veterans I’ve known for a while in an environment that allows time for meaningful conversation.  The short sessions are great to recap on what’s transpired in the past months and learn what’s on the horizon regarding regulatory and the commercial side of business.  The size of the conference (around 500 people) and the excellent agenda (inclusive of the sessions, networking breaks, and cocktail party) makes it very easy to connect with those you want to meet and also meet new people.”

Managing Director, KINCANNON & REED

“This is the most effective networking event I have ever experienced in my 30 years in the food industry.”

Head of R&D, Americas, ROQUETTE

“Future Food-Tech is a fantastic platform for food innovators. The event is the place to learn and engage in all things future of food, attracting key leaders from across the supply chain and leading to a powerful convergence of ideas, discussions, and connections.”
