Food Tech Congress 2023 highlights

Rethinking food and nutrition.
For people. For the planet. For good.

Here, at Food Tech Congress, we believe in the power of tech, entrepreneurship and networking to push the food industry forward and speed up the revolution. It is only through this collaborative effort that we can truly make a difference and build a better tomorrow.

The annual Food Tech Congress is where innovation thrives, bold ideas spark and business gets done. In two action-packed days, we host the most prominent food tech entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, and government leaders from all around the globe to solve the pressing challenges of the industry.

For the upcoming edition, we’re changing things up with 12 brand new conference themes. From food as medicine to alternative proteins, food waste and agritech 5.0, our discussions will draw you in and drive you forward.
