Biotechnology that feeds the future: fermentation, enzymes and the microbiome in the food industry

Biotechnology is transforming food: precision fermentation, enzymes for more sustainable processes, probiotics, and microbiome solutions that impact health and function. This panel will bring together leaders from major companies in the sector to discuss real-world projects, regulatory challenges, and innovation opportunities.

Diversifying Europe's protein supply will be essential to address climate challenges, boost food security, and expand organic farming. Furthermore, precision fermentation and other biotechnological processes have incredible potential to unlock the flavor, texture, nutrition, and functionality of animal and plant products by producing key proteins and ingredients efficiently and sustainably.

This panel will provide a technological, industrial, and regulatory perspective from a leading technology center. It will address the connections between biotechnological innovation, environmental impact, and the market. The challenge of achieving consumer acceptance will also be examined.
