From uncovering the fragility and inequality in the global food system to highlighting the link between nutrition and health, in many respects COVID-19 has changed the way we eat, shop and think about food.
In a unique collaboration between our global editorial teams, the 6-week long Unlocking Innovation series will bring diverse experts together for 12 webinars looking at how COVID has impacted our three regions: EMEA, the Americas and APAC.
Across each region, we are probing what the changes accelerated by COVID-19 will mean for the food system, from attitudes around nutrition and health, to sustainability, start-ups and, of course, NPD.
The free webinar series will go live with its third installment tomorrow, when FoodNavitagor Europe will drill down into the emerging consumer drivers supporting innovation – and ask what the likely global economic downturn will mean in the medium-term.
The 90-minute online event will spotlight innovation strategies and the consumer trends supporting them.
It will feature a line-up of industry experts and thought leaders including:
- Karen Scott Senior Innovation Director of Future Brands, PepsiCo
- Mike HughesHead of Research and Insight, FMCG Gurus
- Marie-Bénédicte Charpentier, Marketing Director, ADM Health & Wellness
- Nicki Morley, Senior Director and Innovation Consultant of Kantar’s Insights Division
The first 40 minutes will be home to in-depth presentations from PepsiCo and ADM. This will be followed by a far-reaching panel discussion looking at the drivers, challenges and opportunities around food and beverage innovation.
What will the coronavirus crisis mean for the big innovation drivers shaping the food industry? How will the pandemic alter consumer attitudes to food?
