Food processing and food biotechnology are key to ensure a safer, more nutritious, and sustainable food supply for a growing world population: Innovations in food processing technologies lead to more efficient and sustainable production methods, and high-quality food products. Disruptive technologies, such as 3D printing, enable the creation of new food designs. Modern food biotechnology offers the tools to make food safer, more digestible, or simply tastier by using the catalytic abilities of microorganisms and enzymes. New plant-, cell- or microorganism-based products offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly source of protein.

• Novel mechanical, thermal or chemical processes for the production and processing of food
• New food processing technologies
• Novel protein production

Lectures covering food processing and technology

Materials and materials processing are essential success factors in the process industry. The interaction between reaction media, reactants, and material surfaces, as well as the correct dosage and composition of ingredients and the product functionality strongly depend on the right choice of materials and their use.

Digitalization including AI are essential key features offering new perspectives in plant and equipment design, building, operation and maintenance. From initial design to brownfield or greenfield implementation, from revamping or debottlenecking of single equipment to full plants, from operations to predictive maintenance: all these are essential parts of success stories.

Safety is priceless. It protects your most valuable assets: your employees, your customers, and your production sites. Security is essential. It defends your investments from outside attacks. Members of the global safety community from industry, services, academics, and authorities present the latest concepts, methods, measures and regulatory developments to counteract the numerous risks due to e.g. cyberattacks, tampering, explosions, fires, and many more hazards.
