What Can You Expect in 2026?
As the world works to feed a projected 10 billion people by 2050, the demand for sustainable, high-quality protein has never been greater.
However, as activity across fermentation technologies intensifies, the landscape is becoming increasingly crowded. Innovation is clustering around similar ingredients, processes, and early commercial applications, raising key questions for the field:
- How will companies differentiate in competitive ingredient markets?
- Which models will successfully scale?
- How do we drive consumer acceptance?
- And which solutions will ultimately deliver meaningful commercial and environmental impact?
As the world’s definitive and dedicated forum for fermentation-enabled alternative proteins, the 6th Fermentation-Enabled Alternative Protein Summit is committed to spotlighting the innovation driving the next generation of sustainable protein solutions. Showcasing differentiation across the entire FEAPs value chain, the 2026 program is built to ensure fermentation-enabled proteins transition from innovation to commercialization - delivering real impact at global scale.
