The latest news, trends, analysis, interviews and podcasts from the global food and beverage industry

The extensive event programme of Anuga FoodTec 2024, the leading global supplier trade fair for the food and beverage industries, will convey important impulses for dialogue across industries. It offers a variety of possibilities to become actively involved and to profit from extensive expert knowledge – interaction and international networking are the priorities here. Main stage responsibility The main stage focuses on the main theme of "responsibility" in the food supply chain. Thoughts revolving around sustainability thereby link up with the responsibility to advance innovations and to work responsibly in all processes of the value creation chain. Experts present innovative technologies, ecological approaches and a socially acceptable procedure for the future of food production and place it up for discussion. Innovation stage The innovation stage sees itself as the think tank for tomorrow's economy. Together with cooperation partners from science, business and the start-up scene, the future is being reconceived. Themes include the latest developments in extrusion technology, sustainability approaches along the food value creation chain, growth markets, meat alternatives, plant-based drinks and much more.
