Healthy Ageing Market: growth?!!

The market for foods for healthy elderly people is at the brink of a breakthrough. Large

companies are investing in brand and product development. The ageing society will also need

more care and attention. Quality of life is the key.

Foods & nutrition can play an important role:
> What are the needs of the elderly, which solutions are available?
> How to develop the market? What is the opportunity and what are the drivers?
> What can we learn from the sport, medical and clinical industry?
> How do health insurance companies look at functional foods in relation to prevention,

treatment and recovery? What are the financial drivers to move clinical-based to

food-based solutions?

> How do clinical and medical food companies react?

> Where are the cross-overs from pharma to food?

> Which legislative barriers exist?
> Which roles can ingredients including proteins play?
> New technologies are available: which breakthroughs can deliver better performance?
