Innovation
Business innovation is more digital than ever – GM discusses innovative packaging strategies, food innovations through microbiomes, fermentation technology and showcase disruptive products on the show floor.
Its emphasis is on bringing leading industry experts to speak on topics that will facilitate and empower food manufacturers in building up the right brand experience while reducing production costs and reducing waste, offsetting product shortages through the use of ingredients that are both capable of replacing and enhancing, as well as uncovering trends and technologies within the industry that are driving innovation.
Tackling major global challenges
This is what GM has to say at this regard: ““We explore the industry’s most pressing challenges and trends including the latest supply chain disruptions, and the prices of fertilizer, raw materials, and food commodities that are rising, hitting economies, manufacturers and consumers worldwide.
“With huge inflationary measures in place affecting the cost of raw materials, in addition to rising energy prices and transportation costs, large food manufacturing companies have the challenging balancing act of maintaining a cost base as efficiently as possible without passing on higher costs to their supply chain.
“We present a number of ways that food manufacturers can keep up with the inflation wave and emphasize how responding quickly and building efficient flexible processes and plants will surely be more successful for manufacturers.”
Disruption
“We explore the latest disruptions in food manufacturing, including digital technologies, 3D printing, bacterial sensors on food packaging, and electronic noses for food authentication and artificial intelligence.
“Food production is fundamentally affected by innovations, but disruptive technologies can throw a wrench in established technologies and shake up an industry…or develop a completely new one.
“We put a great deal of emphasis on this year’s discussions on innovative food production, distribution, and consumer acceptance of food disruptions. We are focusing on providing solutions and showcasing trends that will be vital resources for food scientists, technologists, engineers, agriculturalists, chemists, product developers, researchers, academics, and industry professionals.”
Technology
“We unveil the biggest innovation yet in the F&B manufacturing industry. We discuss how the use of disruptive innovation & tech can protect the planet and reconcile the mounting global appetite. We also explore how food manufacturers can utilize technology in new and emerging ways to use it to lead and make a difference in their organizations.
We dive deeper into the factories of the future, AI & Big Data to feed the world, predict the next food crisis and solve food access challenges. We also look at emerging technology trends that may disrupt the industry in the near future and could pave the way for future innovations.”
