Experts from academia and industry will present current research and technological developments on fat functionality, nutritional value, and ingredient innovation in plant-based and blended meat products.

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) could be a game-changer for the alternative protein industry — and we've just released a comprehensive report in collaboration with Barak Dror, PhD, MBA that lays it all out. SSF holds immense potential to solve some of the biggest challenges in the alternative protein industry — from improving texture and flavor to enhancing nutritional profiles and reducing production costs.

A brand-new series of 10 bite-sized videos is now available to enhance your understanding of plant-based meat R&D. Whether you're refining your skills or looking to deepen your knowledge, this video series covers the three foundational pillars that are crucial to creating better, tastier, and more functional plant-based products.

In a rapidly evolving industry, staying ahead requires more than innovation—it demands strategic leadership. The 2025 Executive Program offers senior leaders from diverse sectors a unique opportunity to connect, exchange insights, and build lasting relationships within the global alternative protein ecosystem. As the industry reaches a critical turning point, this program is designed to help leaders regroup, refine their strategies, and drive meaningful impact within their sectors. Together, we will create a network of decision-makers who will collectively shape the future of sustainable food systems.

Why and how proteins are essential ingredients for achieving biomimicry in plant-based products: In this learning, we will explore the aspects of biomimicry and functionality, as well as the importance of key protein traits in creating high-quality plant-based products.
