Our portfolio of international agri-food events:

“Beiersdorf has an ambitious sustainability agenda, so we are keeping an open mind as to solutions and look forward to this event to find collaborators from across the value chain.”

Senior Scientist, Startup Scouting, BEIERSDORF, GERMANY

“This event is different as it proposes to bring together players from all different steps of the circular economy and, more importantly, talk about aspects of plastics that are often the “elephant in the room” that no one dares to discuss.”

Global Foods Packaging Director, UNILEVER, NETHERLANDS

“There is a need for all parties to be talking with each other, and to think in a different manner, as we move towards a circular economy. We won’t get anywhere without collaboration, so this event will play an important role in promoting the different types of solutions and the paths to scale.”

CEO, TOTAL CORBION PLA, SWITZERLAND
