The Fast-forward Plant-based Food Symposia Series
The aim of the symposia series is to accelerate the transition to more plant-based food consumption by maximizing the impact of: Plant2Food, AgriFoodTure, the Plant-based Food Grant and GUDP through aligning our efforts in supporting research and innovation in a new partnership.
Symposium II (2025)
The Fast-forward Plant-based Food Symposium 2025 is the second of three symposia. The symposium in 2025 will bring together policymakers and private sector stakeholders to enhance public-private collaboration for accelerating innovation and sustainable development in the plant-based value chain. The focus on public-private partnerships is essential to strengthen and accelerate innovation and sustainable development in the plant-based value chain. To succeed, we must unite forces and work strategically.
The key objectives of the symposium are to:
1) Raise awareness and create synergy between the funding opportunities provided by the four platforms.
2) Bring together and explore synergies between projects already funded by the platforms.
3) Identify knowledge gaps and key challenges, research needs and future workstreams.
4) Support the development of a coordinated and strategic approach to research and innovation.
5) Contribute to the establishment and strengthening of public-private partnerships on plant-based food.
The comprehensive program, featuring engaging talks, insightful panel debates and matchmaking sessions, will actively involve all stakeholders in a coordinated collaboration to accelerate research, innovation, and development for a sustainable agri-food system.
Expected impacts of the symposium series
The expected impacts of the symposia is the formation of new partnerships, facilitate and ensure connectivity across funded projects in the plant-based food value chain, promote mission-oriented investment thinking for short and long-term financing, and, of course, accelerate the impact of plant-based food consumption.
We hope you will join us and actively take part in the existing symposia series and join the future of plant-based food.
