ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The food industry is changing at an ever-increasing pace. The popularity of plant-based food is growing significantly and progressively more retail chains, food manufacturers and restaurant chains are finding business potential in it. The growing interest in flexitarianism has made plant-based alternatives to meat or dairy products common items in shopping carts. The Plant-Powered Perspectives Slovakia conference will offer a platform for discussion on these topics for the fourth year. Experts agree that the market for plant-based foods will continue to grow in the world and in Slovakia. Meet the leaders in the field and get the latest information to help you make the most of the opportunities this market has to offer. The entire conference program will be held in two languages (Slovak and English).
WHO IS THE CONFERENCE FOR?
Previous years have revealed a great interest in sharing expertise and experience in the field of new plant-based products, but also in the needs of the consumer. That is why we are presenting the fourth edition, which will be a lively platform for discussion not only on current trends and needs of consumers, but also on the challenges brought by the last two years.
