Over four sessions, streamed over two days, we will profile the technology, ingredients and culinary science powering the next generation of meat- and dairy-free innovation.
FoodNavigator journalists will be asking how the sector can maintain momentum and truly take a bite out of conventional meat and dairy sales.
21 June Session 1: Dissecting plant-based meat: What’s working, and what’s not?
Plant-based has boomed in recent years, with flexitarians keen to try vegan alternatives of their meaty favourites. But signs that category growth is wavering suggests repeat purchases are not assured. How can plant-based meat makers reverse this trend and win over consumers for good?

21 June Session 2: What’s next for the meat alternatives category?
Innovation has paved the way for alt meat makers looking to mimic the real thing. And there is more to come. Which innovative technologies and ingredients promise to mimic the taste, texture, and cooking behaviour of conventional meat?
Speakers include Edwin Bark, senior vice president and general manager EMEA at Redefine Meat; Staffan Hillberg, chairman, Millow; Leonie Johanna Jahn, tenure track researcher, DTU Biosustain and more.
22 June Session 3: Innovative NPD making a splash in alt dairy
With the global dairy alternatives market projected to reach over $61bn by 2029, what started as a niche offering is now commonplace in household fridges. Innovators are leaning into new product formats and category expansion to continue to grow alt-dairy, so what’s making a splash amongst consumers?
