The Protein Summit 2010

Creating sustainable oppertunities


25 & 26 November 2010 - Amsterdam (Netherlands)

It is estimated that the world’s population will reach over 9 billion by 2050. The standard of living in the major economies of China, Russia and India will steadily increase, and demand for animal and dairy proteins will therefore rise. Global food transition is imminent, and food security and protein supplies are set to become major global issues.

The need to develop new sustainable protein sources, raw materials and processes could not be more pressing. The time to discover synergies and opportunities between the private sector and policy-makers could not be more opportune. Understanding the challenges we face is the first step towards safeguarding the supply of protein and the future of our planet.

The Protein Summit is the first global Summit that looks at the future of protein, based on 3 pillars:

 

Day 1                                Plenary Sessions with Keynote Speakers

 

Day 2         Session I

Business Opportunities

 

 

Session II

 

Sustainability Challenges

 

 

Session III

Research & Innovation Developments

 

 

Meet business managers and opinion-leaders such as Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs, Agriculture & Innovation, EU DG Research, VION Food Group, Premier Foods, Nutreco, Nofima, DSM, CBL, TNO, Fonterra, Solae, Burcon, CJ Foods, Wageningen and Amsterdam Universities, GfK, and many others.

The value chain represents huge business opportunities. Capitalise on them during The Protein Summit 2010!

The Summit Programme will include presentations from both B2C and B2B perspectives, including coverage of:

- Consumer demands

- Retail challenges in European countries

- Ambitions of leading food manufacturers, from the meat & meat-free, dairy, soya & fish industries

- Issues in the animal feed chain

- New protein sources, such as canola, potato, rice and also single cells

The Protein Innovation Plaza will give companies, research organisations and policy-makers the opportunity to interact, form alliances, start projects and create new business opportunities.

Major business, research and sustainability issues need to be tackled by the value chain:
- What is driving the demand for protein foods?

- What are the consumer issues?

- How sustainable are the various protein foods, ingredients and feedstuffs?

- Which innovation opportunities exist for shifting towards other protein sources?

- Will new, raw proteins such as canola, algae, rice and single cell be able to play an important role?

This Summit represents a unique platform for the world's decision makers, stakeholders and business leaders in the protein market to meet and exchange knowledge, share ideas and gain inspiration. The combination of plenary sessions, specific parallel sessions and panel discussions guarantees dialogue and insights for all delegates.


With over 150 delegates attending, the Protein Summit 2010 provides excellent opportunities for networking during coffee breaks, lunch and reception, helping to create new international relations in the protein market.

“The rapidly growing world population and global economic developments have resulted in increasing demand for high-quality nutrition made from animal protein. This in turn places increasing pressure on the development of sound and sustainable production chains. Demand for, and social interest in, meat and meat production offers great opportunities for the creation of new, sustainable business concepts”. Mr. Peter Beckers, COO, VION Food Netherlands, Germany and International.
  "This summit offers a unique opportunity to bring together the private sector, government and scientists on the subject of protein." Ms. Alida Oppers, Director of the Department of Food, Animal Health and Welfare and Consumer Policy of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation.


We invite CEOs and Directors of Marketing, Sales and Research from food manufacturers, retailers and innovation companies to join us to discuss protein-related topics with decision-makers from within governmental and private organisations and suppliers of protein ingredients.
