At a time when sustainable innovations are called for more urgently than ever before, Anuga FoodTec 2024 is pursuing the goal of setting new standards. Under the main theme of "Responsibility", the world's leading trade fair for suppliers of the food and beverage industries will become the global meeting point for visionaries, doers, innovators and industry leaders. Together they are setting the course for a more sustainable future. Matthias Schlüter, Director of Anuga FoodTec: "This dedication is reflected in the extensive event programme, in which the participants can acquire insights into the latest technologies, science, innovative solutions and future-oriented strategies." Through the introduction of new exhibition areas like environmental engineering and energy, the reach of the trade fair across sectors will be further extended, whereby the focus remains particularly on the main theme of "Responsibility". The trade programme designed by the DLG (German Agricultural Society) adopts the theme with fresh and dynamic approaches. "Through participatory formats like 'Bar Camp' or 'Open Expert Stage', these multi-faceted events invite to a dialogue across industries and offer extensive possibilities for interaction", says Simone Schiller, managing director of the DLG. The participants can enter into an active exchange and profit directly from the extensive knowledge of the experts, according to Schlüter.
