NAPIC Inaugural Conference

Event Location

More Information

Please select which parallel session (Partnership Building Workshop) on Day 2 you are interested in attending.
These sessions are aligned with our key Innovation Challenges and are designed to foster collaboration around shared priorities.

1.30pm – 2.15pm – select one session: (optional)

Unlocking Nature’s Potential - Boosting protein quality and quantity from the complete biome i.e., plants, microbes (fungi, bacteria), insects, food waste, aquaculture (aquatic plants, seaweeds, micro/macroalgae) 

Protein Discovery - Identifying important peptides present in traditional proteins that offer the desired functionality, mouthfeel and nutritional benefits and replicating these in APs, through cutting-edge tools 

Structuring for Functional and Nutritional Benefits - Structuring APs using colloidal expertise including microgelation, targeted enzymatic fragmentation, creation of cultivated meat, hybrid technologies, and health-led formulation to enhance finished product functionality, whilst improving nutritional value, minimising allergenicity and sensory issues 

2.35pm – 3.20pm – select one session (optional)

Enabling Sustainable Bioprocessing at scale - Accelerating industrial AP production, bringing costs down by deriving best practice from fermentation-intensive industries, developing optimisation tools supporting the transition towards continuous processes that improve efficiency and reduce manufacturing footprint 

New metrics and standards for product quality and environment - Creating standardised and validated new metrics to quantify technical, nutritional, sensory, quality and safety of APs, objectively 

Acceptability and accessibility - Encouraging consumer behavioural shifts across a wide range of age, culture and socioeconomic status towards acceptance of APs including cultivated meat

Please note that photography and videography will be taking place during the event.
