Advancing Functionality, Regulation Clarity, & Strategic Partnerships to Bring Scalable, Cost-Effective Products to Market & Accelerate Global Adoption
The global food system is approaching a critical inflection point. By 2050, feeding a population of nearly 10 billion people will require significantly more protein, while conventional animal agriculture faces growing pressure from climate, resource, and sustainability constraints.
Fermentation-enabled alternative proteins are now at a pivotal stage. Following a period of limited investment and industry consolidation, momentum is cautiously returning: funding is re-emerging, regulatory approvals are accelerating, and more companies are moving from technical validation toward commercialization. However, challenges around cost parity, scalability, functionality, and strategic partnerships remain critical.
The 6th Fermentation-Enabled Alternative Protein Summit was created for this moment. As the only summit dedicated exclusively to fermentation-enabled alternative proteins, it brings together the entire value chain of foodtech innovators, ingredient suppliers, CPGs, investors, and enabling technology providers to tackle the sectors most pressing challenges.
With a focus on scaling production through with strategic partnering and manufacturing efficiency, enhancing functionality with DSP strategies tailored for improving nutritional profile, taste, and stability, increasing commercial viability via market testing and strategic pricing, as well as understanding evaluation criteria and strengthening CPG, investor, and foodtech partnerships across the value chain, the summit provides the technical, regulatory, and commercial depth to move fermentation-enabled products from innovation to market acceptance.
All the presentations were excellent and the speakers were open to talking and sharing their experiences. It is very valuable to know how they are moving forward in the fermentation industry and how they are overcoming all the setbacks
