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).  URL:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/event-listing/5th-international-food-innovation-conference/ LOCATION:GDI Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute\, Langhaldenstrasse 21\, Rüschlikon\, 8803\, Switzerland ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://swissfoodnutritionvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ific25_CMYK_landscape.png ORGANIZER;CN="GDI Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute":MAILTO:info@gdi.ch END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20250619T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20250619T210000 DTSTAMP:20260529T170750 CREATED:20250529T054709Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250529T054709Z UID:10000208-1750356000-1750366800@swissfoodnutritionvalley.com SUMMARY:Upcycling Dinner – Food Zürich DESCRIPTION:One in three food items in Switzerland never makes it to the plate.
