The future is a state of mind, and it has a name: Bioeconomy. We are today where we would never have dreamed of being ten years ago: We produce edible proteins from Co2, bacteria and energy, we produce lettuce in space or in polar ice and we can predict future flavors and thus sales markets with artificial intelligence.
So are we at the beginning of a bioeconomic age?
Europe has consistently taken the path in this direction with the Green Deal. But what does this mean for our agriculture, for our society and for our cultivation and production methods along the food chain? And what does it mean for innovations in the food sector on a global scale? Because progress is in an acceleration phase and this is taking place in China, in the Asian region and in the USA.
We would love to talk about this with you, our international guests and start-ups on April 28th & 29th 2021. Digital & Live from Wagner Salons at Theresienhöhe, Munich, Germany
Program: Our Scientific Director Eveline van Leeuwen will be a keynote speaker during this event. Her keynote will be on Urban-Rural Synergies for sustainable food systems. Read about the full program here.

Global Food Summit – Lending a voice to the future of food
In growing metropolitan regions, the population expects to be able to age healthily and demands that the sustainability targets for 2030 will be taken into account along the food chain. We can achieve these goals with new methods and technologies, but these will change dramatically what and how we eat.
Every year, the Global Food Summit brings together experts from science, industry, associations, politics and the media to discuss how new technologies will affect the way of life. A collaboration of University of California, Berkeley, Wageningen University, Bavarian State Government, Technical University of Munich, National Academy of Science and Engineering and Global Food Summit.

The event will be in English.
