One of my favorite events on the corporate calendar — a crazy mashup of investors, entrepreneurs, scientists and Big Food Inc. execs. Future Food-Tech sets the pace for dealflow, fundraising, M&A, exits, research, investments at the cutting edge of agriculture, nutrition and sustainability.

Chief Brand Officer, THE PRODUCTION BOARD

Future Food-Tech San Francisco is a great example of the power of a global food-tech network. It was our debut showcasing six of New Zealand’s leading food technologies and we were blown away by the response, the quality of the speakers and attendees, and the interest in our companies from our Pacific’s eco-valley. Looking forward already to next year.

Chair, FUTURE FOOD AOTEAROA

Future Food-Tech San Francisco is where the full chain of food innovators converges. It’s a space where ideas take root, partnerships flourish, and the future of food is shaped. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of this vibrant community, and I look forward to future editions.

Advanced Technology Ingredients Senior Director, DANONE

I’m overwhelmed by not only the amount of people but the quality of engagements that I have had here and how professional the set up is. Thank you very much, it is a great opportunity and a privilege to be here. I’m definitely coming again next year.

CEO & Founder, GAIUS.AI

Future Food-Tech covered food over the entire value chain, truly from farm to fork.  I enjoyed insightful discussions with existing connections and networking with new ones.  Our conversations with industry leaders sparked ideas for innovating and accelerating the global food industry.  The curated sessions integrated the intersection of large companies, start-ups, investors, and other industry professionals and leaves us hopeful and excited about the future of food.

Market Lead, Food & Beverage, STANTEC

Future Food-Tech was a great event – we managed to sit down with all the right people, some we’d been trying to connect with for years and they’re all here!

CEO, AYANA BIO

Attending Future Food-Tech was an enriching experience for Xylome. This event brought together the entire ecosystem – from investors and vendors to potential customers and current partners. It provided a highly efficient platform for us to engage with the entire community, facilitating meaningful interactions and fostering connections.
