New ideas for product developers

Consumer trends

There are more and more start-ups all over the world. They are picking up on current consumer trends:

  • Reformulation
  • Personalised nutrition
  • Alternative protein sources

As a fact the product range, especially in the sweet and snack food industry, is constantly growing. New products have to establish themselves on the market. At the same time, health awareness is growing. The focus is increasingly on healthy products. One example is the Nutri-Score label. It was introduced helping consumers to identify healthy and less healthy foods.

Product development

What opportunities do we have to develop new products? Which products stand out? How is the market developing? Is it possible to produce healthy snacks and sweets? Or is it even possible to give products a health benefit? Answers to these and other important questions are provided by the DLG-Expert Stage.

DLG-Expert Stage

We will introduce you to new ideas for product developers. Come and talk to our speakers from science and industry, contribute your expertise, exchange ideas with the experts and get the latest first-hand information.

Sustainability approaches in production

Sustainability wanted

Sustainability is now a global lifestyle trend. This has an impact on every industry, especially the food industry: Consumers want sustainably produced food. Companies are for example expected to take responsibility for climate protection. The goal is a resource-friendly production.

Future of food production

On top manufacturing companies are facing new challenges due to the effects of globalisation and digitalisation. However, this provides new tools to reduce the CO2 footprint in food production.

  • How can production be as resource-conserving as possible without economic losses?
  • How can food waste be avoided?
  • How can AI models be used sustainably to improve planning?
  • What opportunities do apps offer?

Answers to these and other important questions will be provided by our Expert Stage on the topic: Sustainability approaches in production.
