The countdown has begun for Foodtech Forum 2025, that on the 18th of November will be gathering foodtech pioneers, investors, and visionaries set to transform how we produce, distribute, and consume food. This year’s event, themed “Foodtech as a Key for Positive Change” promises a day of great ideas, innovations, and networking opportunities.
This year the event is also scaling up. Besides its larger and international stage program it will also have a bigger exhibition hall, featuring the latest solutions from member companies in the Foodtech Innovation Network. Afterwards new options for networking have been added to get startups, scale-ups, investors, and industry leaders to meet and connect. And different pre-events for investors, such as the Connects Foodtech Pitch event and the Investor Brunch at Mindpark have been added as well.
Exhibition Hall: Taste the Future
The event kicks off with the opening of the expanded exhibition hall, where startups and innovators from the Foodtech Innovation Network will showcase cutting-edge solutions. Visitors can explore, sample, and connect with the changemakers redefining the food landscape.
