SUMMARY:SFNV Impact Forum: Controlled Environment Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:SFNV Impact Forums are one-hour online seminars featuring Swiss and international experts that delve into the topics behind our Impact Platforms. \nWhy attend?\nIn just 60 minutes you’ll hear the latest insights from three expert speakers and then share knowledge and explore synergies with other attendees in our quick-fire Q&A session. \nWhat?\nAs the global population approaches 10 billion by 2050\, the demand for sustainable and efficient food production systems has become a critical challenge. Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) – an advanced farming method that optimises plant growth by regulating factors like light\, temperature\, humidity\, and nutrients in enclosed or semi-enclosed systems\, enabling efficient\, year-round food production – is one ways that innovators are looking to tackle this issue. \nJoin the Valley team and 3 expert speakers at our next Impact Forum to: \n\ndiscover how Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) can enable year-round production\, while improving quality and resource efficiency\nhear how companies are tackling typical challenges around scalability and supply chain integration\nconnect with innovators and industry leaders in a live Q&A session.\n\nWho?\nThe session will be led by Christina Senn-Jakobsen\, the Valley’s CEO and a passionate advocate for food system sustainability. She’ll be joined by three expert speakers from the Valley’s ecosystem: \n\nMartino Corti\, Head of Innovation UMAMI\nFabian Wahl\, Executive Board Member\, Agroscope\nBruno Cheval\, CEO\, CleanGreens Solutions\n\n\nWould you like to join us?\nRSVP below to save your seat in the virtual room and then drop in on the day using the details below. \n\n\nCan’t make it this time?  Tell us about the topics you’re interested in and we’ll be in touch as soon as the events are scheduled in!

SUMMARY:State of Play | Side stream valorisation
DESCRIPTION:Our next State of Play event will explore where Switzerland stands today when it comes to side stream valorisation. Join us to meet the Swiss innovators who are developing innovative circular approaches and discover how companies can use their insights to create more sustainable business models. \nWhat?\nSide stream valorisation is all about finding new ways to transform by-products from food processing waste streams into new\, high-value products. \nWhy now?\n\nPolicy momentum is growing: In line with the EU Farm to Fork Strategy\, Switzerland has set an ambitious goal to halve food waste by 2030. Side stream valorisation has a key role to play in achieving these targets.\nTechnology is enabling new possibilities: Innovations in bioprocessing\, fermentation\, and precision drying are making it easier than ever to upcycle side streams into nutritious\, functional ingredients.\nSustainability is shaping consumer choices: Consumer interest in sustainable food products is rising\, with many brands incorporating upcycled ingredients into snacks\, plant-based proteins\, and functional foods.\nCircular approaches are unlocking new business models: Side stream valorisation can cut CO₂ emissions while reducing costs and creating new revenue streams\, making sustainability a win-win strategy.\n\nMeet our speakers\n\nHere’s who will be sharing their insights: \n\nLinda Grieder-Kern\, Founder & CEO\, Rethink Resource\nNicolas Dorsaz\, Technology & Startup Scouting (Europe)\, Bühler Group\nWilliam Beiskjayer and Vincent Vida\, Co-founder & COO\, Upgrain\nFlavio Hagenbuch\, Co-founder\, Luya\nTiffany Abitbol\, Assistant Professor at EPFL in the Institute of Materials (IMX)\, EFPL\nTatjana Nebel\, Project Lead\, StreamUp\, United Against Waste Schweiz\nAurèle Meyer\, CEO\, Brauerei Locher AG\nClemens Rüttimann\, Mentor & Food Hub Wädenswil\nDoris Erne\, Founder & CEO\, Wheycation\nKarin Friedli\, Deputy Managing Director\, Circunis\nFabian Weinländer\, Chief Transformation Officer\, Blattmann Schweiz AG\n\nJoin us to dive deeper\n\nExplore how technology is transforming food by-products into high-value ingredients\nUncover real-world success stories and new collaboration opportunities\nNetwork with innovators from across the Swiss ecosystem\nTaste their products for yourself\n\nProgramme schedule\n\n\n\n13:30\nWelcome &  Arrivals\n\n\n14:00\nWelcome remarks\, Sidestream valorisation\nChristina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO\, SFNV\n\n\n14:10\nSetting the Scene on sidestreams \nLinda Grieder-Kern\, Founder & CEO\, RethinkResource\n\n\n14:20\nExploring the solutions Technology  as an enabler\nNicolas Dorsaz\, Technology & Startup Scouting\, Bühler Group\n\n\n14:30\nHow Upgrain Transforms Brewers’ Spent Grain \nWilliam Beiskjayer\, Co-founder & COO\, Upgrain\n\n\n14:40\nUpcycling Beer Sidestreams: From Brewery to Brewbee\nAurèle Meyer\, CEO\, Brauerei Locher AG\n\n\n14:50\nEat better\, live better: Connecting taste\, health and sustainability by upcycling side streams\nFlavio Hagenbuch\, Co-CEO & Co-founder\, Luya Foods\n\n\n15:00\nWaste-to-Taste: Transforming Wet Byproducts of the Food Industry into New Nutritious Foods\nProf. Tiffany Abitbol\, EPFL\n\n\n15:10\nQA with all\n\n\n15:20\nNetworking Break\n\n\n15:35\nPanel Discussion “StreamUp – Grow your food\, save impact”\nTatjana Nebel (moderator) – with Streamup!\n\n\n16:05\nTransforming  glucose from potato sidestreams\nFabian Weinländer\, Chief Transformation Officer\, Blattmann Schweiz AG\n\n\n16:15\nMini-break\n\n\n16:20\nDeep Dive tables\n\n\n17:00\nClosing\nChristina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO\, SFNV\n\n\n17:05\n“Taste the Waste” \, 1-min Sidestream product pitches and networking\n\n\n18:00\nEnd of Event\n\n\n\n\n\nEach Valley partner can benefit from two complimentary tickets.
