New ingredients, technologies, products, trends, international market successes and, of course, the consumer, are central to the 10-11 October summits on plant proteins and sports and nutrition. Thought leaders from the international business community and knowledge institutions will explore, together with the public, the possibilities for maximizing the growing potential.

DAY 1 | 10 OCTOBER | ONE DAY TICKET € 95 EXCL VAT

Proteins of the future

Green proteins - that seem to have a flourishing future in store - will not only improve sustainability and health, but also help build the circular economy that promises to add value for both consumers and entrepreneurs. It is no longer the time to explain why it is so urgent to transition to more-sustainable sources of protein; there is now a pressing need to implement new ideas. Prepare to be inspired by the leaders of the green protein revolution.

Summit speakers include Matthias Krön (Donau Soy association Europe), Gert Jan Gombert (Vivera), Isabel Boerdam (Week without Meat), Jeroen Willemsen (The Protein Cluster and Green Protein Commissioner), Thomas Felice (Algama) and David Ingemar Hedin (Euromonitor International). In addition there will be numerous acceleration sessions, product/idea pitches and tastings ranging from edamame and vega mayo to seaweed and green doner-kebab. We are delighted to have Erik te Velthuis, from Topsport Restaurant Papendal, creating these new ‘foods’ on behalf of these innovative companies. More information about the complete program here.

DAY 2 | 11 OCTOBER | ONE DAY TICKET € 95 EXCL VAT

Sports & Nutrition

Awareness of the impact of personalized nutrition on sports performance is gaining ground in the (inter) national sports and (sports) nutrition sector. Other sectors are also keen to apply this knowledge and cutting-edge development for target groups such as the elderly and those in medical care. On 11 October, the focus is on presenting the latest sports nutrition concepts, technologies, products and international marketing opportunities for professionals in food, sport and a healthy lifestyle.

During the summit, top speakers from AgroParisTec and Valorial (France), Innova Market Insights (NL), Teagasc (Ireland), Generade (NL), Wageningen University & Research (NL), Hogeschool Arnhem and Nijmegen (NL), KNVB (NL), Team NL Performance Nutrition (NL) and Maastricht University (NL) will all be presenting. And visitors will find inspiration in the product pitches by Jaco Pieper (Koupe), Simon Branch (Herbalife) and Mark Tuitert (First Energy Gum). Once again, Erik te Velthuis (Topsport Restaurant Papendal) will be preparing some innovative foods for us. More information about the complete program here.
