SUMMARY:5th International Food Innovation Conference
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Nutrition : The Convergence of Food\, Health\, and Beauty \nUnlike food\, where we are limited by satiety\, the pursuit of well-being is limitless. New scientific findings on the interactions between nutrition\, beauty and holistic health are driving the convergence of traditionally isolated industries. A new\, dynamic ecosystem with enormous growth potential is emerging at this interface. \nThe 5th International Food Innovation Conference will shed light on the rise of this integrated wellbeing market: from functional foods and science-based beauty products to personalised prevention concepts\, food\, healthcare and beauty are merging to create a new billion-dollar market. This transformation\, driven by the latest research findings and technological innovations\, is creating completely new value networks and offering companies unique opportunities to position themselves in this growth market. \nExperience how leading scientists\, entrepreneurs and thought leaders are shaping this development and discuss the following questions: \n– How can food innovations promote healthy ageing and deliver on the longevity promise?\n– How does microbiome analysis enable personalised health solutions?\n– How can upcycling of food by-products open up new beauty markets?\n– How are digital technologies creating holistic health experiences?\n– How are traditional distribution channels (e.g. supermarkets) becoming integrated wellbeing centres? \nThe conference is aimed at decision-makers from the food and beauty industry\, retail\, drugstores\, pharmacies\, hotels and healthcare who want to utilise the opportunities of this convergence for their business. Discover the future of a market whose growth potential is only just beginning to unfold – and find out how your company can benefit from this transformation. \nValley partners benefit from a 25% discount on the full participation fee (900 CHF instead of 1200 CHF).

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.

SUMMARY:SFNV Impact Forum: Cultured Food
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 four expert speakers and then share knowledge and explore synergies with other attendees in our quick-fire Q&A session. \nWhat?\nProtein is one of the building blocks of life – essential to a balanced diet and necessary for growth and the repair of damaged tissues. Demand for protein is on the rise as the world’s population is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 (1). 1 billion people around the world already do not consume enough protein (2) and our food system today accounts for 30% of global GHG emissions (3). Without innovation\, it will be impossible to provide enough protein to meet demand while meeting the targets set out by the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nBuilding on Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley’s State of Play 2.0 event in December 2024\, this online forum will provide both Swiss and international experts with an opportunity to continue to explore the trends and opportunities in this space and how we can scale the most promising approaches. \nWho?\nThe session will be led by Christina Senn-Jakobsen\, CEO of SFNV\, a passionate advocate for food system sustainability. She’ll be joined by three expert speakers from the Valley’s ecosystem. \n\nYannick Gächter\, CEO The Cultured Hub\nCarlotte Lucas\, Head of Industry\, The Good Food Institute Europe\nRalph Langholz\, Vice-President\, Swiss Protein Associaiton\n\n  \nWould you like to join us?\n \nJust RSVP below to save your seat in the virtual room and then drop in on the day using the details below. \n\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!
