Food Vision 2014 ready to encourage radical thinking and explore innovative opportunities

Over 100 food industry leaders and senior directors from Europe, Asia and the Americas will soon convene in Cannes, France for the 2014 Food Vision summit to discuss key issues facing today’s global industry, from sustainability to innovation; alternative protein sources to consumer engagement.

“Now in its second year, Food Vision is proving to be a strong draw for individuals and organizations eager to explore the economic, social, scientific and environmental issues affecting the world and its relationship with food,” says Vision Events Director, Christina Wood.

“The understanding and insights they will gain here will help them create successful strategies that address market change and fuel profitable growth. As a forum for debate, Food Vision encourages radical thinking, invites challenge and provides for an honest evaluation of opportunity and risk.”

William Reed’s Food Vision event is driven by the key issues of innovation, sustainability, cutting-edge food science, and changing consumer behavior, with the program offering food science through the focused lens of commercial interest to identify strategies for profitability and growth.

This year’s program has been informed by feedback and recommendations from the 2013 audience as well as input from the expert editorial teams of FoodNavigator and NutraIngredients, leading publications from William Reed Business Media, the organizers of Food Vision.

Representatives from world leading and challenger brands, including Alpro, Arla, Britvic, Coca-Cola, Dairy Crest, Danone, Doehler, Kraft, Mars, Nestlé, PepsiCo and Unilever, will take part in a series of debates focused on strategic issues, and listen to insightful testimonials and challenging presentations focused on best practice from around the world.
