Pozvánka: konference "Protein Summit focus on Sustainability", 25. - 26. 11. 2010
Dear Colleague,
It is common knowledge that the global demand for proteins is soaring. By 2050, it is expected that protein consumption can not be met by the current production technologies and substantial shortages will occur. As a result, new opportunities for plant-based proteins appear as well as for new sources like fungi, single cell based proteins.
Business opportunities & Sustainability challenges
The world’s population is increasing and disposable income is rising. This will lead to a sharp rise in the demand for proteins. Huge business opportunities exist in the value chain for your company. However policy makers and consumers do require your protein production to be sustainable. Multinational Dupont is one of the main players which is actively overseeing the food value chain. Gert Keiner, Industry Segment Leader (Food), Dupont, adds: "Currently we are actively looking into replacing petrochemicals for renewable sources such as fibre technology. We are focussing on 4 F’s: Food, Feed, Fuel & Fibre".
These and other topics will be addressed at the Protein Summit 2010 that takes place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on November 25th and 26th. The Summit covers 3 area’s within the protein industry:
- Business opportunities
- Sustainability challenges
- Research & Innovation developments
For whom: CEO’s, Directors of Marketing, Sales, Research of Innovation or Food manufacturers. Protein Ingredient companies will meet research leaders and decision makers of (non)governmental organizations.
