Advancing Functionality, Regulation Clarity, & Strategic Partnerships to Bring Scalable, Cost-Effective Products to Market & Accelerate Global Adoption
The Global Food System is Getting Hungry
By 2050, we’ll be feeding nearly 10 billion people and they’re all bringing an appetite for protein. Meanwhile, conventional animal agriculture is feeling the heat (literally) from climate pressure, resource constraints, and sustainability demands.
That’s where the 6th Fermentation-Enabled Alternative Protein Summit comes in.
From biomass to precision fermentation, innovators are using microbes to brew a new generation of protein ingredients and food products. After a tougher funding period, the sector is starting to bubble again - investment is returning, approvals are accelerating, and companies are moving from lab success to real commercial products.
But there’s still a recipe to perfect: scaling production, achieving cost parity, delivering functionality that works in real food products, and building the partnerships needed to bring these ingredients to market.
The summit brings together foodtech innovators, CPG leaders, ingredient suppliers, investors, and technology partners to tackle exactly that.
Because moving from microbe to menu takes the whole ecosystem.
All the presentations were excellent and the speakers were open to talking and sharing their experiences. It is very valuable to know how they are moving forward in the fermentation industry and how they are overcoming all the setbacks
