Analyzing challenges that the food industry faces in the next decade such as the digitization of the sector, the search for more sustainable models or innovation in ingredients and products has been the main axis of Food 4 Future, a professional event that has gathered at Bilbao Exhibition Center about 5,500 visitors interested in the food and beverage industry last week.

During the three days, which have been held from June 15 to 17, more than 280 international experts have gathered -representatives of an industry that contributes to the 11% of the world´s GDP- where they have addressed, in more than 56 conferences, the new market trends in six vertical forums: Meat Forum, Beverage, Bakery, Sea Food, Dairy and Agro. Furthermore, technological solutions related to artificial intelligence, blockchain, IIOT, Biotechnology, Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Cloud and Automation and Robotics have also been released.

Precisely, during the three days, the most innovative technological solutions applicable to food safety, packaging, food processing, transport or logistics have been explored, with the aim of optimizing processes and achieving more efficient business models.

Food4Future, which has had the support of Accenture, AgroBank, Azti, Blendhub, CNTA, Ibermática, Government of Spain, ICEX, Lantern, Omron, PWC, Siemens and Tecnalia, will return to Bilbao Exhibition Center next year, from 17 to May 19, 2022.
