Overview

EIT Food’s 2023 flagship conference will be the last before institutional change at European level in 2024. It provides a unique opportunity for the largest food community in the world to inspire lawmakers, by sharing evidence-based insights, business cases, and concrete recommendations on how, together, we can make change happen to transform our food systems. With its extensive track record of infusing innovation in the ecosystem, accelerating its take up and adoption from farmers to consumers, and providing frequent unique feedback to decision makers, the EIT Food Partnership can once again help shape the more sustainable, resilient and transparent system we need. 

By the time we meet, European lawmakers will be shaping the future framework for sustainable food systems, the EU Protein Strategy, while also working on soil health, packaging / labelling, consumer information, financial instruments, etc.  At a time when the EU’s best in class stance may be challenged internationally and internally, when the transition and costs attached may be questioned, the EIT Food conference provides the perfect opportunity to shape the future of our food, drawing from an amazing community dedicated to innovation. We are non-partisan, work with facts and figures and for impact.

At the event - Alberts vending robot

The Alberts One, is an award-winning vending robot that makes personalised healthy smoothies, soups, and plant-based shakes on the spot. It uses frozen fruits, vegetables, and plant-based protein sources, and only adds pure water to ensure the snacks are nutritious and have a minimal sugar content (<5%). Alberts is revolutionizing the way we access food by breaking away from the traditional food chain model. Each machine is a 1m2 micro-factory that produces food on the spot, making healthy choices convenient for people on the go.
