Summit | 5th June Summit 5th June Sessions Track I

As the plant-based industry evolves, consumer expectations are higher than ever. From taste and texture to sustainability and nutrition, what’s driving the next wave of innovation? In this session, we’ll explore key industry trends, market insights, and the latest advancements shaping the future of plant-based meat. Join us as we uncover how brands can stay ahead by delivering on consumer needs and reinventing the plate for a new era of food.

This panel will focus on:

- How do we find that unique intersection where alt-protein offers something meat/analogues simply do not?
