This keynote will give an overview of the developments in FMCG and Foods in particular. As a business we aim to deliver products that have unmissable superiority for our consumers. This means that the products need to delight our consumers, whilst being better for them and for the planet.

The Food System is impacted by and impacts the climate and health of our planet. A sustainable and resilient supply of foods to an increasing population is key. At the same time, developments in Biotechnology, understanding of the gut Microbiome, the development of AI and the role of Data all have a revolutionary impact on how food can be grown, processed and delivered.

Increasingly, data is at the core of product development, and it provides new opportunities to create products that taste great, are better for you and sustainable. Non-invasive measurement across the value chain is key to provide this data, from agricultural monitoring and input management, to molecular product design and real-time manufacturing management and control.
