Welcome to the Innovation Booster Swiss Food Ecosystems! \nStarting exploring and mapping the problem and opportunity space on resource efficiency within the agro-food system will help to deepen the connection to the problem\, by understanding how resources are used today\, why we stick to it\, and what root cause are at their base laying out the relevant stakeholders and comprehending their relationship to the problem\, their bonds and fears. \nBased on the thorough exploration of the entire problem landscape of today’s resource spillage a systemic picture of the whole will be possible. \nThis open and collaborative setting will make you meet people from diverse backgrounds and will make you learn more insights to actively work on the emerging opportunities. Be it designing circular economy on biological and technical loops\, nudging consumer behavior\, innovating technology and packaging\, food waste reduction and as far as re-modeling the system from soil to soil. \nRadical ideas that mature during the workshop will be submitted for incubation in a first step. A CHF 5’000\,- voucher in cash and curated coaching will allow to spend more thorough thinking on the idea. Desktop\, literature and patent search\, in-depth interviews with experts\, research and implementation partners\, project- and team lineup will be checked and supported by coaches on a regular basis. \nIdeas that grow into a project proposal with disruptive potential\, a committed team from research and implementation partners will be invited for pitching to an expert jury. A grant of up to CHF 40’000.- will allow for more development in bringing it to life. \nThe workshops are the ticket for idea incubation and project proposal for this Innovation Booster. (Participation to workshop\, of at least one member of the submitting team is mandatory for grant reception) \nA reservation fee of CHF 100\,- per person is asked at registration. This will be refunded after participation.

Thanks to your loyalty and support\, we are happy to be able to introduce you once again to both local and global initiatives and to seize the opportunities for innovation and collaboration that are available to you. \nThe societal and environmental challenges related to food are numerous and complex. They need to be tackled in a global way and require profound changes from all actors; academic\, economic\, political and society\, hence the notion of “food systems”. \nEverything is connected\, and in order to find a sustainable and beneficial balance for all\, it is necessary to conceive the future of our food all together. The canton of Fribourg is a pioneer in this field with its recent agri-food strategy\, which advocates a systemic\, collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to innovation. \nCONNECT DISCOVER CO-CREATE \nThis 2nd edition is marked by the collaboration with Fribourg Ville du Goût. This is why we welcome you to the BCF Arena to offer you culinary experiences while discovering innovative themes through exciting workshops and presentations. \nThis year\, Bruno Rossignol will do us the honour of being our keynote speaker. Bruno is the Director of Catering and Retail at EPFL and has implemented a revolutionary strategy on campus. He will share with us the behind-the-scenes story of this project during the first part of the event. \nIn the second part\, renowned experts from academia\, startups and industry will share their vision and perspectives on two main topics during parallel sessions: Technology for the entire food value chain and What will tomorrow’s plate look like? There will also be workshops that will appeal to all your senses and creativity! \nAs always\, the emphasis will be on proximity and exchange\, notably through networking opportunities throughout the day. \nNew this year: all lectures will be translated simultaneously into French and German! \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the 2nd edition of InnoFood & co!

Food is\, therefore\, a predatory market: Which products get the biggest stomach share? Currently\, the wrong ones. The result: polluted soils\, dying waters\, painful livestock farming\, food waste\, hunger\, diabetes\, and obesity… We’ve heard it all. \nBut there are alternatives\, from regenerative agriculture and sustainable production methods to alternative proteins and a circular economy to healthier food.​ \nYet\, consumers don’t seem interested\, even though animal welfare\, environmental protection and climate change are hot topics. Customers look at the price\, and it seems too high to them. They are concerned about their health\, and distrust innovations. They demand taste\, and are not satisfied. \nHow do we get out of the dilemma between price\, health and sustainability? The International Food Innovation Conference is dedicated to the question of how the food system can be sustainably reformed along its entire value chain\, from production to final consumption. In its third edition\, the focus is on consumers. Representatives of startups and industry leaders will discuss with scientists and thought leaders questions such as: \n\nWhat does it take for novel food to be accepted?\nDo consumers need to be seduced and educated?\nCan suppliers survive with better food at lower prices?\nWill healthy diets become the luxury of the future?\nHow do we solve the standoff in the game of responsibility between producers\, industry\, trade\, consumers\, politics\, authorities and regulators?\nWho will be the game changer\, a “Tesla of the food industry”?\n\nThe International Food Innovation Conference will be held in German and English (with simultaneous translation).
